Friday, October 25, 2019, finds Western Conference rivals the Utah Jazz and Los Angeles Lakers facing each other in their second matches of the 2019-20 season. The two squads are both expected to vie for the top seed in the Western Conference
Last season, the squads played four times with the teams splitting the contests. The Lakers hold the all-time record having bested the Jazz in 107 of their 183 matches.
Utah Jazz
The Jazz has owned this matchup in recent years but this new era Lakers squad featuring LeBron James and Anthony Davis is a totally different challenge for Utah.
Although Utah won their home opener the OKC Thunder was in the match until the final minute. Much of that was due to a horrible shooting night by Utah which was punctuated by brutal perimeter shooting (25%) and new starting point guard Mike Conley’s abysmal 1 of 16 shooting night.

The other big offseason addition Bojan Bogdanovic was more effective scoring 16 points although his 3-ball was off as he hit on just 1 of 5 attempts.
Donovan Mitchell led the way for the Jazz with a double-double of 32 points and 12 rebounds (the latter a career-best). The x-factor for the Jazz was Emmanuel Mudiay who scored 12 points and dished five assists in his role as the reserve point guard.
Bogdanovic (ankle) is questionable while Dante Exum (knee) is definitely out.
Los Angeles Lakers
While the hype of the Staples Center opener focused on the superstar duos it was Danny Green who was the most impressive Lakers player on the hardwood.
Green almost single-handedly brought the Lakers back late. His 28 points was the team-high and highlighted by his 3-point effectiveness (7 of 9).

LeBron James and Anthony Davis were spectacular early but hit only five field goals for 11 points combined in the second half. The duo was feasting inside but went away from this strategy which seemingly cost them the game.
Davis registered a double-double of 25 points and 10 rebounds. James came up just short of his own double-double with 18 points and eight assists.
While their size was a factor against the smaller Clippers frontcourt using that strategy won’t necessarily be as easy in this match given Defensive Player of the Year, Rudy Gobert will be protecting the rim.
Kyle Kuzma (foot) and Talen Horton-Tucker (foot) are out while Rajon Rondo (calf) is questionable and Alex Caruso (pelvic contusion) is probable.
NBA Betting Trends:
- Lakers are 6-4 ATS in their last 10 games.
- Jazz are 8-2 in the last 10 head to head contests.
- Over Under is 4-6 in team’s last 10 head to head matchups.
Free Utah Jazz vs. Los Angeles Lakers NBA Prediction:
James and Davis aren’t going to want the spotlight glare and early panic of losing back-to-back games so expect a more concerted effort the entirety of this match.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Lakers ATS
The Jazz will attempt to wear down Davis and hope for a better shooting display from Conley but ultimately LeBron and the Brow know what they need to do.
