Utah Jazz vs Los Angeles Lakers: Prediction for the NBA match
In 2022 the squads had a chance to collide twice and both times Los Angeles turned out to be stronger. However, they will still enter the upcoming meeting in the status of an underdog.
Utah Jazz
Union got a ticket to European competition last season, but few could have expected that next season Urs Fischer’s team would be able to compete for a place in the top six. In the first round the Irons were more than convincing and even ended up in the Champions League zone several times, but now the situation has changed a bit. By the start of the 28th round, Union was on the ninth line in the table with 38 points in the assets, lagging behind the sixth Hoffenheim by only six points. It is quite possible to overcome such a handicap. In the last round, Union lost to Bayern with a score of 0:4, thus extending the series without victories in the championship to three matches.
Los Angeles Lakers
The Lakers also drove themselves into a dead end, after a couple of lost matches led to the fact that the club was outside the play-in zone. Who would have thought that the tactics of LeBron James to collect stars in one place would fail, although the leader itself gives all the best. The Lakers have lost the last three fights in which, in principle, it was possible to take at least some points. First, there was a defeat from Philadelphia (121-126) and New Orleans (108-116) and in the last meeting Dallas showed class (110-128). Of course, Frank Vogel’s wards hear a lot of criticism in their direction, but there is no way in the NBA without this.
Prediction
According to the bookmakers, Utah is the clear favorite of this confrontation, although the team has no less problems than its rivals. Saved by the fact that the Jazzmen are still holding on to the playoff zone and the Lakers are fighting for survival, that is, for the tenth line. The Lakers will now have to go all-in and bet almost everything. LeBron James and company were a big disappointment, because at the beginning of the season they were considered one of the main contenders for the championship. In our opinion, the guests should not be underestimated and it seems that the club from Los Angeles will not fail. Our prediction is a handicap (+10.5) points for the Los Angeles Lakers for a coefficient of 1.62 in 1xBet. Now such a moment has come that no one will save strength, since it is necessary to save the situation. Most likely, both opponents will bet on the attack and we will see a productive confrontation. Second bet is for a total over 220.5 points for 1.60. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.62. Promo code for registration - ODDS2WIN.
