Jazz to face Lakers at Staples Center
The Los Angeles Lakers want to avoid a repeat of last game's result - a 100-99 loss to the Grizzlies - when they host the Jazz on Monday.
Los Angeles looks to get back on track in this one; they had won four straight before losing to Memphis.
The Jazz play into revenge Monday, after handing Los Angeles a 90-80 defeat in the last meeting back on January 3, 2006.
Oddsmakers like the Lakers in this one, opening the line at 6 in favor of Los Angeles. The opening total is set early at 185.5.
Jerry Sloan's team was busy last game losing to the Rockets 102-88 as 6 point underdogs. The 190 points sent that game over the total of 173.
Phil Jackson's troops were at home against the Grizzlies last game and came away with a 100-99 loss, a game that went over 186. Oddsmakers had them as 4-point favorites in that one.
With the league's #28-ranked offence, Utah either needs a breakout game or it's up to the defence to keep them in this one. The Jazz average just 90.1 points per game.
