Six straight meetings in this series have gone under the posted number. Not one of three meetings this season has gone over 200. Utah has been scoring a lot of points lately but they have had a ridiculous schedule lately that has seen them play the worst defensive teams in the NBA over and over. They have played only one good defensive club in their last 10 games. The Lakers are a Top 10 defense and this team will really look to bring the defensive intensity at home after three straight poor defensive showings on the road. This team plays very stout defense at home and they allow just 95 PPG, on average, on this court. This is a big game for both teams and we think the defensive intensity will be ramped up on both sides, and both of these teams can play good defense and we just don’t see this one being a barnburner, especially looking at the results of the last few meetings. The under is 7-2 in the Lakers last nine home games and 13-6 in their last 19 games as a listed favorite.
