This game means nothing to the Lakers. The Jazz scored only 94 points in their last game as they got blown out by Oklahoma City. Utah really is missing Bojan Bogdanovi?'s 20 points per game and better than 40-percent shooting from 3-point range. They certainly are not the same team without him. Low energy translates into a low-scoring game, making Under the play.

This is a nice bounceback spot for the Lakers against a team they've beaten this season by 9 and 25 points. Utah will struggle offensively against an LA team that wants to regain its mojo. Back the Lakers to cover vs. the Jazz for the fifth straight time.

Both teams were involved in lopsided losses last time out. The Lakers fell by 15 points to Toronto on Saturday and Utah lost to Oklahoma City by 16. The Jazz are more concerning in my eyes since they are playing without one of their top scorers in Bojan Bogdanovic (wrist). The Lakers won both of their previous meetings with Utah this season by at least nine points, including a 25-point triumph in their most recent matchup. Look for the Lakers to bounce back in a big way here and cover.
