Jazz hung close in game 1, I see the Lakers coming out here and taking care of business early and running away with it !!

BOLTA

spot on... with the refs part.  This will be a classic "laker hater" night from the officials and the lakers are more of a game 1 team than a game 2 team.  If you look at their first and second games in a series, unless they drop game 1 (which rarely happens) they normally lose ATS and sometimes SU in game 2.  Utah showed me last game more than they've shown me in any of their previous meetings in LA over the last 2 years, specifically that they can actually come back and take a lead late.  the line movement in this game is telling too.  Books want lakers money, which is why sharps will be on the jazz.

UTAH +6.5 (buy up)

Utah +6

Jazz played the Lakers tough last time out. This is do or die for them tonight. They dont want to go down 2-0 and have to go home. The Jazz either win this game or keep it very close. The 6 points is a gift as Vegas knows the public loves Los Angeles and no matter what the number is they will take the Lakers.

Jazz 1H +3.5
