The Los Angeles Lakers and the Utah Jazz are set to lock horns at Crypto.com Arena in an NBA clash. The Lakers are in fourth place in the Western Conference table, while the Jazz are in tenth place. Here's our match prediction. 

The Los Angeles Lakers come into this game after concluding their five-game road trip with a 119-95 win over the Milwaukee Bucks. That result marked their second win on the bounce.

Luka Doncic was behind a stellar performance, leading the team with a game-high 41 points. Austin Reaves and DeAndre Ayton also proved their usefulness, combining for 45 points.

The Lakers return to the Crypto.com Arena, where they currently boast a two-match winning streak. In totality, they have a 3-2 record and are averaging 118.6 points per game.

The Utah Jazz have won two of their last three matches after dropping three. Their most recent triumph came against the Chicago Bulls.

For a team that was slated for failure in that match, the Jazz were surprisingly competitive as they won 150-147 at home after pushing the Bulls all the way to double overtime. 

Lauri Markkanen was the standout player in that overtime victory, posting 47 points, seven rebounds, and two assists. Keyonte George contributed 33 points.
