Los Angeles Lakers vs Utah Jazz: Current situation
Only one team in the NBA has a longer active win streak than the Lakers right now and that’s the team in front of them in the standings the Denver Nuggets. With 31 wins and 19 losses they’re 4th in the West, just 3 games behind the Nuggets in the win column. Everyone is waiting to see how the pairing of Doncic and LeBron James will look like, we get our first peek at the dynamic duo on Monday against the lowly Utah Jazz.
Right now the Jazz just aren’t playing good basketball, there’s just no other way around it. They’ve won only two of their last 10 games and the strategy is quite clear – they are trying to tank the rest of the season and lose as many games for a high position in this summer’s NBA Draft. There’s a long list of injuries they are dealing with right now as KJ Martin, Walker Kessler, Lauri Markkanen, John Collins and Collin Sexton are all likely out for this one.
Los Angeles Lakers Stats & Form
No LeBron James, no problem for the LA Lakers. LeBron missed Saturday’s game against Indiana due to a left ankle injury, but the team performed exceptionally well even without him. Austin Reaves stepped up to the task with 45 points and 7 assists, while Rui Hachimura added 24 and 9 rebounds. The Lakers flourished on defense, holding the Pacers to just 42% from the field and 31% from three.
Utah Jazz Stats & Form
Utah suffered yet another big loss on Saturday as they fell to the LA Clippers 130-110 on the road. It was their 2nd consecutive game in which they allowed 130+ points, opponents are just not encountering any resistance whatsoever on offense. Jordan Clarkson and Keyonte George were the two lone bright spots for the Jazz with 24 and 21 points, only the New Orleans Pelicans are playing worse basketball at the moment than these Jazz are.
Los Angeles Lakers vs Utah Jazz: Head-to-Head
In 201 regular season games all-time the Lakers have recorded 119 wins, compared to just 82 by Utah. They lead the regular season series 2-0 after a pair of wins in November and December. A win on Monday clinches the regular season series for the Lakers which would be their 2nd in a row. In the last 6 games played at crypto.com vs the Jazz, the Lakers are 5-1 SU.

Betting tip and prediction: Los Angeles Lakers vs Utah Jazz (10.02.2025)
All eyes will be on this game to see how Luka Doncic does in his first game wearing the purple and gold uniform. The Lakers have been on a hot streak for a while, winning and covering the spread in their last 5 games. They’ve not only excelled offensively, but the defense has been doing its job as well. The last 3 Lakers opponents have shot just 30.3% from downtown, while inside the paint they’ve allowed just 43.3 points per game during that stretch. That’s an improvement of 7 points per game compared to their season average and if you’re a Lakers fan that must feel good. LeBron James and Luka Doncic will make for an interesting pairing, a lot of analysts are claiming it won’t work because they both need the ball to be effective. We are not of that opinion, great players always figure it out no matter if their styles of play clash or not. We’ve seen countless examples of this, if James Harden and Russell Westbrook were able to make it work in Houston, we see no reason why LeBron and Doncic won’t do the same here. The bet is quite obvious here – LA is one of the hottest team in the NBA, while the Jazz have just 2 wins in 13 games overall and have dropped 8 straight on the road. We are backing the Lakers to cover the spread.
