ATS: Los Angeles Lakers -8.5 (-110)
LOSS for -4 unit(s)

Utah Jazz at Los Angeles Lakers

4* Major Bookie Blood Bath of the Month on Lakers -8.5 After dropping two straight games at Utah, I fully expect the Lakers to come roaring back in game 5 at home tonight. The Lakers won both games 1 and 2 by double digits and I like them to explode to beat the Jazz by an even larger margin tonight in this double revenge spot. Plays on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points (LA LAKERS) with double revenge - 2 straight losses vs. an opponent, in a game involving two good teams (60% to 75%) are 50-18 ATS the last 5 seasons. The Lakers are 21-4 ATS versus poor defensive teams - allowing 99+ points/game - 2nd half of the season this season and 18-6 ATS versus explosive offensive teams - scoring 103+ points/game this season. Utah is 2-15 ATS in road games after a home game where both teams score 100 or more points over the last 2 seasons. Pound the Lakers.
