Utah Jazz vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/18/25

The Utah Jazz takes a quick trip down to Los Angeles to battle the Lakers, and it’s possible LeBron James will make his long-awaited season debut after missing the first 14 games dealing with sciatica. The Jazz have rolled up some impressive offensive totals lately, going crazy in a 150-147 overtime victory against the Chicago Bulls, while also going for a 152-128 win over the Indiana Pacers last Tuesday in Salt Lake City in a regulation victory. The Over has cashed in three in a row, and four of the past four games, including the team’s most recent road game in a blowout loss in Minnesota on Nov. 7.

For the Lakers, they’ve won two in a row, and Los Angeles has gone for at least 118 points in three of the past four outings. While the Under has hit in three in a row, the Over is still 9-5 in 14 games so far. And, again, LeBron is expected to be back, after working on his conditioning with the team’s G League affiliate. The addition of LeBron’s offense should not hinder the team, but only enhance things on offense, as well as on the defensive end. In this game, though, Utah likes to go up-tempo, and LeBron will likely be on a pitch count. Expect to see plenty of points, and that’s way better than laying a ton of points with the home side, who could have chemistry interrupted a bit.
