Lakers vs Jazz Prediction 2/10/25 NBA Picks Today

The Utah Jazz travel to the crypto.com Arena to take on the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night. Here’s a Lakers vs Jazz Prediction. This article will include a Lakers vs Jazz Pick.

The Utah Jazz have been in terrible form as they’ve lost 11 of their last 13 games overall and they will be eager to avoid a third straight defeat after getting trounced by the Clippers in a 130-110 road loss on Saturday. Jordan Clarkson led the team with 24 points, Keyonte George added 21 points off the bench, while Johnny Juzang chipped in with 19 points. As a team, the Jazz shot 47 percent from the field and 17 of 43 from the 3-point line as they got off to a quick start and fought hard to stay within striking distance in the first half, but they just had no answers for the Clippers who exploded for 72 points in the second half to send the Jazz to a second straight defeat. The Jazz will face the Clippers and Thunder following this one.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers have been in red-hot form as they’ve won nine of their last 10 games and they will be aiming for a sixth straight win after outlasting the Pacers in a 124-117 home win on Saturday. Austin Reaves led the team with 45 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists, Rui Hachimura added 24 points with nine rebounds while Gabe Vincent chipped in with 12 points and seven assists. As a team, the Lakers shot 52 percent from the field and 11 of 33 from the 3-point line as they stormed out of the gates with 44 points in the first quarter to build an early 25-point lead and they kept a double-digit lead for almost the entire game. The Lakers will take on the Hornets after this game.

Why the Los Angeles Lakers will win

• The Jazz have lost each of their last 11 road games against Western Conference opponents.
• The Lakers have won each of their last eight home games against Northwest Division opponents that held a losing record.
• The Lakers have covered the spread in each of their last seven games against Western Conference opponents after winning as underdogs.
• The Jazz have failed to cover the spread in each of their last four road games.

Why the Utah Jazz will win

• The underdogs have won three of the Lakers’ last four games.
• The Lakers have lost six of their last seven games against Northwest Division opponents following a win.
• The Lakers have failed to cover the spread in each of their last seven Monday games against Western Conference opponents that held a losing record.
• The Jazz have covered the spread in each of their last four road games against the Lakers following a road loss.

Matchup/League Facts

• The Lakers rank 29th in the league for offensive rebounds per game this season (9.1).
• The Lakers rank 29th in the league for field goal attempts per game this season (85.2).
• The Jazz rank 30th in the league for steals per game this season (6.6).
• The Jazz rank 30th in the league for opponent steals per game this season (9.7).

The Jazz are still playing without the injured Collin Sexton, while the Lakers are keeping an eye on Luka Doncic, LeBron James, and Dalton Knecht who are all questionable for this game. The Jazz are coming into this one low on confidence with just two wins from their last 13 games and they now have to take on the red-hot Lakers who have been playing an inspired brand of basketball lately. Unfortunately, there is an injury cloud hanging over the Lakers which always makes things tricky, but the Jazz really have been so bad lately that it almost doesn’t matter who suits up for the Lakers. The Jazz are in a tailspin at the moment, so I will lean toward the Lakers to continue their strong form with another big win at home.
