Command Analysis

Utah Jazz

Current form
The Salt Lake City team is having one of its worst seasons in recent years. Utah has lost three games in a row, dropping to the penultimate place in the Western Conference. Recent losses to Phoenix in overtime (127:134), the Clippers (110:130) and the Lakers (113:132) have shown how serious the problems in defense are. Even despite the efforts of John Collins and Lauri Markkanen, the team is not able to consistently compete with strong rivals.
The next match will be against the Lakers again, but this time on the home court. However, given the recent result, it is difficult to expect a serious improvement in the game.
Disqualifications and injuries
Taylor Hendricks will not play on the floor due to health problems.
Interesting facts for betting
The Jazz have scored only one victory in their last five games.
Approximate line-up: Markkanen - Collins, Kessler -Collier, Clarkson.

LA Lakers

Current form
J.J. Redick's team clearly found their game after the Luka Doncic trade. The Lakers have won six games in a row, steadily gaining points and rising in the table. The recent match against Utah (132-111) showed how comfortable the team feels in attack. Luka Doncic scored 14 points in his debut for Ozernykh, and LeBron James continued to dominate the court.

1.76Tip and bets
Utah is experiencing a prolonged recession for the entire season. The team cannot compete with most of the league's rivals, so the Jazzmen are currently in the penultimate place in the West. The Lakers are in great shape and show a balanced game both offensively and defensively. Luka Doncic is adapting quickly to his new team, and LeBron James is steadily gaining points. We believe that the Lakers will surely win again.
Our prediction is that the Lakers will win, taking into account the handicap (-6) points in 1.71
Bet on the total
Despite the weak results, Utah is trying to play attacking basketball. The Lakers have become even more dangerous offensively after Doncic's trade. We expect that the match will be productive again, and the overall total will be broken.
Forecast - total more than 233.5 points for 1.68
Betting on statistics
Ozernye are on the move, having won six matches in a row. LeBron James and Luka Doncic create a powerful attacking combination capable of scoring a lot of points. We assume that the Lakers will break through their individual total again.
Prediction – Lakers' individual total is more than 121 points in 1.78 minutes
