What to Know
The Los Angeles Lakers haven't won a game against the Utah Jazz since Feb. 16 of last year, but they'll be looking to end the drought Tuesday.

Los Angeles made easy work of the Houston Rockets on Sunday and carried off a 134-109 victory. Center Anthony Davis continued his habit of dropping crazy stat lines, picking up 40 points along with nine rebounds. The contest made it AD's third in a row with at least 38 points.
Meanwhile, Utah was just a bucket short of a win on Sunday and fell 111-110 to the Brooklyn Nets. The losing side was boosted by small forward Talen Horton-Tucker, who had 32 points and eight assists.
Los Angeles is the favorite in this one, with an expected 8-point margin of victory. They are currently three-for-three against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.
