Los Angeles Lakers vs Utah Jazz key stats
The Jazz have the most wins in the West. Only the 9-0 Bucks have won more games than the Jazz in the entire NBA this season. All of these statistics seemed unfathomable at the start of the season, considering the squad overhaul they went through in the offseason.
They are fresh off of beating both LA sides in their last two games. They come into this game on the back of a 110-102 win over the Clippers in which former Laker Jordan Clarkson led the scoring for the Jazz with 23 points.
Lauri Markkanen and Jordan Clarkson have been phenomenal for this Jazz side, who seem to be proving the doubters wrong in every single game. They have gone 4-3 on the road this season, whilst being unbeaten at home. Markkanen and Clarkson have played brilliantly in tandem, leading the scoring for the Utah side.
Markkanen is averaging 22 points a night, coupled with nine rebounds per game, while his teammate Clarkson is averaging 18-5-5 for the season. Clarkson scored his third consecutive 20+ point game, scoring 23 against the Clippers. The 23-point outing was his sixth 20+ point game of the season already.

The LA side have looked terrible at the start of the season. After a horrendous 0-5 start to the season, they managed to win two games in a row. They have since succumbed to consecutive defeats again. They come into this encounter on the back of a 114-100 defeat against the high-flying Cavs. It is not often that there is a contest where a side has lost by 10+ points and yet outscores the opposition from the floor. In the loss against the Cavs, it was their horrible free-throw accuracy that let them down and in turn cost them the game.
LeBron James has led the scoring for the Los Angeles side this season, scoring 24.3 per game. He has had a rough start to the campaign considering his Hall of Fame career. The 2-7 visitors have struggled from beyond the arc, with a stark absence of spot-up shooters in the side. If the LA side don’t find a way to win without dominating from deep, it could be another campaign without a postseason appearance for LeBron and company.
Los Angeles Lakers vs Utah Jazz Best Pick:
Jordan Clarkson faces his former organization, which drafted him. He has been pivotal for the Jazz’s success this season. His combination play with the likes of Lauri Markkanen and Colin Sexton has been amazing. He is averaging 18 points per game thus far, and has registered 20+ point games for the last three successive games.
Jordan Clarkson; Points: Over 18.5 (-117)
Los Angeles Lakers vs Utah Jazz Final Prediction:
The LA side have been very poor this season. They have still not got a settled starting five or a settled way of playing. Until the Lakeshow figure out their basketball identity, results are going to come few and far between. The Jazz are much stronger at the moment and have proved that they can beat them. There aren’t many teams in the NBA that have been able to beat the Jazz thus far, and the Lakers don’t look like doing so either.
Utah Jazz: -3 (-107)
