NBA Playoff Picks – Jazz @ Lakers – Cover The Spread
FiveStarPick.com will be giving its members against the spread winners in three games today. The focus of today’s preview is Game 2 in the Western Conference matchup between the Utah Jazz and the Los Angeles Lakers. Las Vegas sportsbooks have listed the Lakers (66-17 Straight Up, 44-39 Against The Spread) as a 12-point favorite with the total hovering around 211-212.
L.A. crushed Utah 113-100 in Game 1 of this best-of-seven first-round series. Kobe Bryant lead the Lakers with 24 points and eight assists. Trevor Ariza added 21 points and Pau Gasol finished with 20 points and nine rebounds.
Utah (48-35 Straight Up, 39-44 Against The Spread) might had a great second-half performance two nights ago, but the Jazz trailed 62-40 at the half. Carlos Boozer scored 27 points and had nine rebounds, while Deron Williams added 16 points and 17 assists.
Now let’s talk trends…Utah has failed to cover the number in all three of its games as a double-digit underdog this year (at L.A. twice and at Cleveland). The Lakers are 14-19 against the spread in 33 games as double-digit favorites this season. Phil Jackson teams in Chicago and L.A. have won all 41 playoff series in which they won Game 1. These clubs have played in L.A. three times this year and the Lakers won all three contests by a 13-point margin. The Lakers covered the spread in all three of those meetings, but the Jazz did wub 113-109 in the lone game played in Salt Lake City back on February 11th.
