Utah Jazz vs. LA Lakers NBA Pick Prediction 4/17/2021 by Tony T.
Jazz at Lakers—NBA pick is LA Lakers +8.5. Rest advantage for the Lakers after their loss to Celtics. Jazz on a back to back after failing to separate enough from the Pacers to cover in a victory. Kuzma, Schroder, Matthews and Drummond are probable. Huge concern for Jazz as Donovan Mitchell had to exit the game against Indiana with an ankle injury and will have an MRI. Ankle bad enough for an MRI doubt he plays in a back to back spot in a day game. Concern for Utah defense on the road as the team sits 18th in defensive efficiency in the month of April allowing 113.4 points per 100 possessions. Play LA Lakers +8.5.
