Utah Jazz - Los Angeles Lakers

I haven't been playing NBA for a while because at the moment bookies know teams well and odds usually haven't got any value, but today they made a mistake in here, suggested only with great home play by Jazz.

Of course they're solid team, amazingly effective at home, but I doubt they could be on Lakers level, even with home crowd. They were weaker in all games so far, even in last one, when they won 104-99, while both away games they lost by double digit and I give an edge for LA also in here. Jazz rooster is rather average with only Deron Williams in form, while Carlos Boozer with Andrei Kirilenko are rather in downtrend in my view. On the other hand Lakers are really, really good now and I can say they're main candidates to title, even bigger than Celtics. Kobe with Gasol are great and also Lamar Odom with Derek Fisher are quite solid, being able to help in important moments. I think it's time to grab an away win for Lakers, because 2-2 tie would be really dangerous for them. I will trust Phil Jackson and I hope that they'll at least make this game really even. +2 spread with nice @ 1.91 at Centrebet looks really, really good for me.
