Premium Pick

Utah finally got a victory after losing four in a row while suffering some COVID losses to its lineup, and the Jazz shot 52.4 percent while beating the Nuggets. Utah has covered the spread just once its last five meetings at Los Angeles and the Jazz are 2-6 ATS the last eight meetings overall. Also, Utah is playing a back-to-back after playing in altitude last night and it is 3-8 ATS playing on no rest. Also, the Jazz are 2-6-1 ATS following a win and 3-10-1 ATS its past 14 games as favorites. The Lakers were embarrassed at Denver on Saturday night losing by 37 points and LeBron and company aren't used to being underdogs at home. Look for Los Angeles to bounce back in this one. Take the Lakers as my NBA Game of the Month.
