The Lakers have James on the roster and as long as he is able to stay healthy look for the Lakers to be able to win the games. In this game if LeBron is able to play in the game for any length of time it will help pull the Lakers out in this game as James cannot be stopped and he makes the Lakers better overall. Final Score, Utah Jazz win, but do not cover ATS 108-102.
