Utah Jazz DFS SPIN
Lauri Markkanen scored 38 points in Utah’s 140-137 double OT loss versus the Phoenix Suns on Sunday night. Markkanen also grabbed 17 rebounds in the loss. Utah will look to snap a two-game skid as they travel to face LA to face the Lakers.
Los Angeles Lakers DFS SPIN
Lebron James recorded a season high 37 points in the Lakers 105-104 victory against Houston on Sunday night. Anthony Davis also had a strong night versus the Rockets recording a double-double in the victory. Unfortunately for the Lakers, Lebron and AD were added to the injury report for Tuesday’s game, Lebron is listed questionable with a left calf contusion and AD is listed as probable with a hip injury.

Jazz vs. Lakers Prediction:
Jazz are fresh off a heartbreaking double OT loss, while the Lakers grabbed a narrow win against Houston.
Utah is the play here. With Lebron questionable, I could see the Lakers giving him the night off to rest up for their primetime matchup with the Dallas Mavericks tomorrow night. Even if James does, play, I still like the Jazz, as this feels like a lookahead spot for the entire LA team. The Jazz played the Suns tough two games in a row losing both by three points, I believe they give the Lakers the same level of trouble. Utah is the play.
NBA BETTING PREDICTION: Jazz +7.5
