- Analysis
- This Tuesday night showdown between the Utah Jazz and Los Angeles Lakers at Crypto.com Arena sets up as a high-scoring affair, and the best angle is to play the game to go Over the total. The Lakers enter at 10-4, riding momentum from a convincing 119-95 win over Milwaukee where Luka Doncic exploded for 41 points, nine rebounds, and six assists. Doncic has been the league’s top scorer at over 34 points per game, and his ability to push pace and create offense has transformed the Lakers into one of the NBA’s most dangerous attacks. Alongside him, Austin Reaves has emerged as a secondary scorer averaging nearly 28 points per game, while Deandre Ayton provides interior presence and rebounding. The Lakers’ offense has been humming, averaging well over 115 points per game, and with the possible return of LeBron James from injury, their scoring ceiling only rises.
The Jazz, meanwhile, come in at 5-8, but they’ve shown they can light up the scoreboard. In their last outing, they outlasted Chicago in a 150-147 double-overtime thriller, led by Lauri Markkanen’s 47 points and Keyonte George’s 33. Utah has leaned heavily on Markkanen’s offensive brilliance, as he ranks among the league’s top scorers at over 30 points per game. While their defense has been porous-allowing opponents to shoot nearly 45% from the field-their offensive firepower ensures they can keep pace in shootouts.
Both teams thrive in up-tempo play, and with the Jazz struggling defensively while the Lakers push pace behind Doncic’s playmaking, this game projects to be a track meet. Expect fireworks in Los Angeles, with Doncic and Reaves leading the Lakers’ attack while Markkanen keeps the Jazz competitive. With both teams capable of putting up 120+ points, the safest play is on the scoreboard. Take the game to go Over the total on Tuesday night.
