Today's best bet: Los Angeles Lakers (+4) over UTAH JAZZ

It's evident the Lakers are the NBA's best team, and the opportunity to close out a series on the road is a stage made for Kobe Bryant. Expect a tight game in the fourth quarter, with Bryant and Jazz point guard Deron Williams trading big plays. Home teams are 20-1 straight up in the second round of the playoffs, but the Lakers are capable of beating the trend.
