One of the best players for the Clippers in the tournament has been Jay Scrubb. The young guard has averaged 14.7 PPG in three games.
Another player that has done well is Jason Preston. He had an injury-laden season last time out, but he has looked good for the Clippers in the Summer League.

Heading into this game against the Utah Jazz, the Clippers will be hoping to end their two-game slump. They have had their struggles to get going on the offensive end.
The team is yet to score more than 100 points in the tournament. If they are able to do that, they could certainly put up a fight and grab a win on Friday.
Key Player - Jay Scrubb
Jay Scrubb was drafted by the Brooklyn Nets but was traded to the LA Clippers in a deal between the two teams. He signed a two-way contract with the team and as part of that also plays for their G-League affiliate, the Ontario Clippers.

Last season, Scrubb played 18 games for the LA Clippers. He had limited playing time, but later on was ruled out due to a season-ending injury.
Scrubb will be hoping to bring in his best in the Summer League and win a few more minutes during the regular season.
LA Clippers Predicted Lineup
Point Guard - Jason Preston, Shooting Guard - Jay Scrubb, Small Forward - Brandon Boston Jr., Power Forward - Jarrell Brantley, Center - Reggie Perry
Utah Jazz Preview

The Utah Jazz have secured two wins and one loss in three games so far. They are coming into the Summer League on the back of a winless California Classic leg.
One of the biggest problems they have faced throughout these games is their offense. The team has struggled to score points and this often leads to poor performances in their games.
Jared Butler has been doing his best for the Jazz. His ability to make dynamic plays and get teammates involved has worked out well for them. They also have the presence of Tacko Fall on the boards and this has been a help as the big man has averaged 15 RPG so far.
However, going into the fourth game of the Summer League, the Jazz will be looking to make an effort to improve their offense.

They are certainly still in the race to finish in the top two, which is why a win would be crucial for them. However, the Clippers are a tough side themselves and will try to grab a win and spoil the chances of the Jazz.
Key Player - Jared Butler
Jared Butler was part of the Jazz team last season. He made 42 appearances and also started one game for them. The Summer League is certainly a platform for Butler to show off his ability to the team.
With the organization heading towards a rebuild, Butler could get a lot more minutes next season.
