LeBron James averages 29.3 points a game when he plays the Celtics in the regular season, his best output against any club. Right behind that is the 29.2 he averages against the Jazz.
He will miss his first game in Salt Lake City as a Laker with a groin injury he has battled since Christmas. L.A. is 3-5 without him but has won - and covered - two in a row and has posted an Under in nine of their last 11.
’Bron or no ’Bron . . . Utah does nothing for me. And sure, we’ll take a piece of that Under also.
Pick: Lakers (+8) at Jazz
Pick: Lakers-Jazz (Under 216.5)
