The LA Lakers are Now -800 ML Favorites
Who will win the Utah Jazz vs. Los Angeles Lakers game this evening? Judging by the 2025 NBA odds, the answer is the home team. The Lakers are seen as -800 favorites, suggesting that they are very, very likely to win. But will they cover the 13.5-point spread?
Well, they might, given that they’ve been in fantastic form lately, winning nine of their last 10 games. And they did all that without Luka Doncic, who’s widely considered to be one of the greatest players of his generation. The blockbuster trade saw him come to LA, while Anthony Davis moved to Dallas.
While AD is a phenomenal player, he just isn’t as productive as Doncic. The Slovenian point guard is a 5-time NBA All-Star who’s famous for his high-scoring performances.
In the 2024-25 season, however, he had some big problems with injuries, missing most of Dallas’ games in the last three months. However, he seems to be ready to get back on court, this time wearing the LA Lakers jersey.
His average this season is 28.7 points per game, but the problem is that Luka hasn’t played a single game since Christmas Day. BetOnline’s bookmakers have set his points margin to 26.5 points – will he score more than that?
Can Utah Ruin Luka’s Show Tonight?
The Utah Jazz aren’t doing great in the 2024-25 NBA. They’re sitting second to last in the Western Conference with a 12-39 record. In comparison, the LA Lakers are 31-19.
The boys from Salt Lake City are also in poor form, losing eight of their last 10 games. Plus, they’re without a single win on the road in eight games.
They also have a very bad record against the Lakers, losing four of their last five duels. It’s even worse when it comes to the games played in Los Angeles – in their last 10 meetings in LA, the Jazz won only twice.
Utah Jazz vs. Los Angeles Lakers Prediction
Even without Luka Doncic on the team, the Lakers would demolish the Jazz. With him on the court, they’re bound to blow them out. Our prediction is that the hosts are going to win, cover the spread, and that Doncic will score at least 27 points on his debut.
Pick: LA Lakers -13.5
