Rating: 8/10*
The LA Lakers are coming off a 105-98 loss at Portland on Wednesday, and they're not getting much respect here the very next night. Normally I would agree as playing the second end of a back-to-back set in the altitude at Salt Lake City is far from easy, but this is a young and athletic Lakers side, so I think they'll be less affected than most teams. We can also note that the Jazz are in a bit of a slump after back-to-back losses to OKC and Denver, and this will mark their third game in four nights. None of the previous three meetings this season were decided by more than seven points. Take the points on the Lakers.
