Clippers at Jazz picks and predictionsPrediction

Clippers 126, Jazz 109

The Clippers (-325) will cost you more than 3 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward. Even as part of a multi-leg parlay, including L.A sucks a lot of value out of your ticket.

AVOID, and look to the spread instead.

The CLIPPERS -8.5 (-110) is a strong play against the depleted Jazz.

First off, before finalizing your lineup, make sure Leonard is given the green light. But, even if he cannot go, the Jazz should have a hole in the middle with Nurkic doubtful and Markkanen still questionable to return. Even if the latter can play, there will likely be a restriction. And, with George sitting out to rest, it’s all systems go for the Clips. But, if Kawhi is out, go a little less aggressively.

The OVER 233.5 (-110) is the way to go, but don’t get carried away.

The Over is 5-2 in the past 7 games for the Jazz while holding a 6-4 edge in the past 10 outings for the Clippers. And in this series, the Over has cashed in 4 of the past 5 meetings.
