Current Records: Utah 6-3; Los Angeles 2-5
What to Know
The Los Angeles Lakers’ homestand continues as they prepare to take on the Utah Jazz at 10:30 p.m. ET Nov. 4 at Crypto.com Arena. The Lakers will be strutting in after a win while Utah will be stumbling in from a loss.
It may have taken overtime to finish the job, but Los Angeles ultimately got the result they were hoping for on Wednesday with a 120-117 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. It was another big night for Los Angeles’ center Anthony Davis, who dropped a double-double on 20 points and 16 boards in addition to four blocks.
Utah lost a heartbreaker to the Dallas Mavericks when they met in April, and they left with a heavy heart again on Wednesday. Utah fell just short of Dallas by a score of 103-100. Point guard Jordan Clarkson (22 points) was the top scorer for the Jazz.
Barring any buzzer beaters, the Lakers are expected to win a tight contest Friday. They hadn’t treated bettors all too well in the past (they are 2-5), but they might be worth taking a chance on now after beating the spread two games in a row.
Los Angeles is now 2-5 while Utah sits at 6-3. Los Angeles is 1-0 after wins this season, and Utah is 2-0 after losses.
