Utah at Los Angeles

The Jazz’s offense was slowed a bit by the Lakers but not much. This is a team that has been scoring at the rate of Phoenix and Denver through the second half of the season. They are producing 109 points per game in the playoffs, and that is in line with how they finished the second half. The Lakers, after a slow offensive start at home vs. the Thunder, have now produced 111 and 104 in their last two here. The Jazz have been a potent OVER team when posted as a dog, where they are now 40-19-1 to the OVER in their last 60 as a dog. The last 18 played between these clubs in Los Angeles have seen the OVER ring the bell to a 13-5 mark. I like the OVER in this one.
