I really like the Jazz tonight.
Final game before the big road trip for the Lakers. Mostly against weak opponents.
Look what Pau Gasol had to say:
"No partying at all," forward Pau Gasol said after scoring 14 points in the Lakers' eighth straight win in Los Angeles. "We understand we have so many home games together. I want to see us do this on the road
in tougher situations against
teams that are ready to play.
"Right now we're in good shape, but we've still got a long way to go."
Boozer last 3 games: 35,21,27
Jazz pts scored last 3 games: 96,101,104
He averaged 20.6 points and 13.2 boards against the Lakers in the playoffs
Don't forget Deron Williams-
Williams scored 20.2 points per game with 10.8 assists in the playoff series
Utah just beat Spurs on the road 104-101
IMO JAZZ +10.5 or however you want to play it is a GOOD BET
Battle Tested Jazz the biggest challenge Lakers have faced in weeks.
Lakers have only scored 106,110,108,108 respectively vs. Nets, Hornets, Heat Suns all those teams were road-weary and
do not have the defense Utah has.
Utah +2.05 Rebound differential this year, Lakers +1.05

Something about kicking back with 10+ knowing the Lakers have their minds on the big road trip and Utah is more battle-tested in my opinion
sounds PROFITABLE to ME.
