In the upcoming NBA matchup, the Los Angeles Lakers (40-38) will seek their fourth consecutive victory as they face the Utah Jazz (36-42).

Currently ranked seventh in the Western Conference, the Lakers achieved a 134-109 win against the Houston Rockets in their last game.

For the struggling Utah Jazz, their next home fixture against the Lakers at the Vivint Smart Home Arena is a now-or-never situation. The Jazz have had a frustrating campaign this season and are currently placed 12th in the Western Conference standings.

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Utah Jazz Predictions for Tonight's NBA

Our Lakers vs. Jazz predictions are based on BetMGM Sportsbook listing the Lakers as the favored team with an 8.5-point spread in the upcoming game. Despite their 40-38 overall record this season, the Lakers have made significant improvements and are in a position to secure a playoff spot if they can maintain their play-in spot in the remaining games.

Although they have struggled on the road with a 19-20 record, the Lakers have won their last three games and are currently playing well.

The Jazz, on the other hand, have had a disappointing season with an overall record of 36-42, and their chances of making the playoffs are slim. While they have performed better in their home games with a 22-16 record, they have lost their last two games and have been struggling in recent games.

The Lakers are expected to make a strong push in the final stretch with their new players starting to mesh well together. The Lakers' strides on both the defensive end of the floor and shooting from beyond the arc have made a world of difference. Therefore, our Lakers vs. Jazz predictions point to betting on the Lakers to cover the spread in this game as the best option.

Lakers vs. Jazz Picks, Best Bets & Player Props Including Lakers -8.5

Another bet we are in on from our Lakers vs. Jazz predictions is the player prop for LeBron James to go over on his points scored, set at 24.5. LeBron has an average of 28.78 points per game in the current season and has scored at least 25 points in three of his last five games. LeBron may have to carry a significant load on the offensive end, making it likely for him to score more than 24.5 points.

The play for Anthony Davis in the upcoming game against the Utah Jazz would be the "Points Scored" prop, with the under option at 28.5 points. Although Davis has been performing well lately, averaging 28.8 points in his last ten games, Davis has scored under 28.5 points in four out of his last ten games, with LeBron getting back into the flow of things, expect Davis to go under.
