It is the last game of the season for the West leading Los Angeles Lakers they will face their likely first round opponent in the Utah Jazz.

The Jazz are in bit of a slump right now as they have lost three straight heading into this game against the number one seed Lakers. Before today the Lakers were fighting for best record in the NBA with the Cleveland Cavaliers, but after LeBron James and company made quick work of the Indiana Pacers yesterday the Cavs have wrapped up the best record and will have home court advantage throughout the playoffs.

The only thing the Lakers have to play for is momentum. If Kobe and company are going to play the Jazz in the first round they will not want to lose to them at home before the series begins. The Jazz on the other hand will be playing to possibly not play the Lakers in the first round which would drastically improve their chances of advancing.

Although the Jazz have everything to win here, the Lakers will not let it happen in their house and should cover the -6.5 point spread tonight in LA.
