Utah at Los Angeles

Some had thought that Utah would tank this season to get a high draft choice, but the players apparently have other ideas as the Jazz have started 6-3 straight-up and ATS, including covering the number their past three games. The Jazz do come off a 103-100 loss to Dallas, which shot 50 percent, but that was after Utah swept a two-game series with Memphis. Lauri Markkanen is scoring 21.7 points per game for the Jazz and Jordan Clarkson averages 17.1. The Lakers lost their first five games of the season before finally beating Denver and New Orleans and it took a 3-pointer at the end of regulation and then overtime to defeat the Pelicans. Los Angeles is 15-36 ATS its past 51 games following a win and the Lakers still can't be trusted as they blew a 16-point third-quarter lead against New Orleans before pulling out a victory. Take the Jazz as a Max Play.
