Jazz vs Lakers NBA Preview, Predictions
Isaiah Collier Over 6.5 Assists
Collier missed the first few weeks of the season for the Jazz, but he has picked up right where he left off last season with some elite assist production.
Over the last five games, he is averaging 15 potential assists per game, and as a result, he is averaging 7.4 assists in that time.
Collier projects for 7.8 assists in this matchup against the Lakers, who have allowed the 7th-most assists per game to guards this season.
Jake LaRavia Under 7.5 Points
LaRavia has certainly flashed some things for the Lakers this season.
However, this number is simply too high, considering Los Angeles is set to at least have a good chance to get LeBron James, Rui Hachimura, Marcus Smart, and Gabe Vincent all back in the rotation tonight.
As a result, I project LaRavia to go under this number 68% of the time.
