The Utah Jazz are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games when playing at home against LA Lakers.

On Thursday, the Jazz will try to push their winning streak to three games as they host Luka Doncic and the Lakers at Delta Center.

The Jazz carry a +7.0 advantage on the spread line.

Current Form:

Utah booked back-to-back wins over the Memphis Grizzlies (130-126) and the Dallas Mavericks (140-133 OT) to bump up their record to 10-15. Despite dealing with a groin injury, Lauren Markkanen came up big in these games, recording 26 points and 9 boards against the Grizzlies and 33 points, 16 rebounds and 5 assists in the overtime win over the Mavs.

The Lakers edged the Suns, 116-114, in a physical matchup on December 14. Luka Doncic (29 points), LeBron James (26 points), and DeAndre Ayton (20 points) all scored at least 20 points to help the Lakers overcome the gritty Suns despite a cold 7-for-37 shooting beyond the three-point line. The Lakers remain the top dog in the Pacific Division with an 18-7 record.

Our Utah Jazz vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction

Fearless Forecast: The Lakers are 2-0 in their regular-season series with the Jazz, but Utah took them to the limit in their last meeting last November 23, 106-108. The Jazz has some momentum coming in after those wins over the Grizzlies and the Mavericks. The Lakers are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games against the Jazz, but they are only 1-6 ATS. The Jazz are 10-4 ATS in 14 games at Delta Center this season. Markkanen is listed as a game-time decision on the injury report, but I expect him to play and fuel the Jazz in what I predict a competitive ball game against the Lakers.
