Monday’s Top NBA Picks: Jazz vs. Lakers
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Luka Doncic Over 26.5 Points (-120)
Luka Doncic is currently listed as a game-time decision. However, we feel the recently acquired superstar makes his debut as a Laker this evening. The Utah Jazz make for the perfect opponent after an extended absence, as they are tied for the worst defensive rating in the league.
The Jazz allow 119.1 points per game, third-most in the league. Utah also ranks fourth in most three-pointers allowed, fifth in opposing field-goal percentage, and second in points allowed off of the fast break.
Luka is averaging 28.1 points on the season and scored at least 27 points or more in five of eight games before his injury. The Lakers’ newest addition to the team will most likely look to make an instant impact in Los Angeles. The opponent only adds to the opportunity to clear 26.5 points.
