Utah Jazz has had a great start to the 2022-23 NBA season, showing some interesting things in the first two weeks of activity. Nothing has happened by chance, as the squad is not only getting victories, but also impressing and entertaining its fans.
They started the season by winning three consecutive games: against the Denver Nuggets by a score of 123-102, against the Minnesota Timberwolves by 132-126, and against the New Orleans Pelicans by 122-121. Losses to the Houston Rockets 114-108 and to the Denver Nuggets 117-101 could have dampened their good pace, but they haven’t tied consecutive losses.
Prior to the game against the Lakers, the Utah franchise lost 103-100 to the Dallas Mavericks.
Betting on Los Angeles Lakers
- Season record: 2-5
- DraftKings Spread: -2
- DraftKings Moneyline: -135
- DraftKings Over/Under: 227
The Los Angeles Lakers finally won again this season in last Sunday’s 121-110 game over the Denver Nuggets. Prior to that game, there wasn’t much to say in favor of the Angelino squad, which had struggled in the first two weeks of action.
They had lost five games in a row, the second-biggest number in the Western Conference: Golden State Warriors 123-109, Los Angeles Clippers 103-97, Portland Trail Blazers 106-104, Denver Nuggets 110-99 and Minnesota Timberwolves 111-102. The Lakers earned another win in their last meeting against the New Orleans Pelicans 120-117, in a game that went to overtime.
JefeBet Prediction
The statistics give a vote of confidence to the Utah Jazz, who have been able to take advantage of their roster and are more solid in every game they play.
Regardless of their predicament, the Lakers will have a perfectly healthy team, but there is no guarantee that the outcome won’t end up favorably for Utah, considering the surprise on paper.
Prediction: Utah Jazz wins by 8 points.
