The Los Angeles Lakers are on a three-game losing streak dealing with injuries. Los Angeles rookie point guard D’Angelo Russell (11.7 points per game) is questionable after playing only eight minutes against Oklahoma City because of an ankle injury suffered in Thursday's 118-115 loss in Sacramento. Aging Kobe Bryant is 18-for-38 from the field in his last two games after missing the previous three because of a right shoulder injury. Los Angeles is 2-19 straight up versus the Western Conference, including 16-35-1 ATS against the West. Utah is in town, playing great defense for coach Quin Snyder, #5 in the NBA allowing 97.3 points per game. Utah played last night, but is 10-3-1 ATS playing on no days rest, plus 19-9-1 ATS when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. Play Utah.
