NBA - Utah Jazz vs LA Lakers Basketball betting preview

Tonight the Lakers (18-10) host the Utah Jazz (16-14) . My money is on the total over 213

Originally I was going to pick Los Angeles -5 and I still think this is a good bet however both of these teams have had some very close games lately and I feel that this game may end up being decided within the last minute of regulation.

The Lakers are going to control the tempo of this game . Being that the Lakers are the 4th highest team in scoring and the Jazz are the 5th highest in scoring per game , this game is going to have a high total score.

Both the Lakers and the Jazz are coming into this game after impressive wins over very good teams. The Jazz have been playing well their last few games but fail in comparison to how well the Lakers have been playing. Andrew Bynum has been a dominant force on the offensive and defensive end of the court. And Kobe Bryant has been impressive as usual.

The game is going to be won by rebounds and points made off turn overs. The Lakers are statistically 1st in rebounds compared to the Jazz who are ranked 19th. Andew Bynum + Lamar Odom are going to dominate the boards . Kobe will have an over 30 point game tonight and this young laker team will continue to out class the opposition on both ends of the court.

The Jazz are going to fight back and keep up with the tempo of the Lakers. No one doubts that this Jazz team can score. I see both of these teams shooting the lights out in a fast paced high tempo game.
