Utah Jazz vs. LA Clippers Betting Prediction
It's been three weeks since the Jazz last defeated the Clippers. Beating the LA outfit by eight points, the Jazz looked noticeably sharper beyond the three-point line for most of the game. They ultimately took the fourth quarter 26-17.
Despite this looking bad for the Clippers, it's worth keeping in mind that they have displayed considerably more focus and aggression against the Spurs recently. There, the Clippers dropped 21 triples on their outmatched foes. The Clippers are, overall, in much better form and focus than they were this time last month. Presuming Paul George makes it to tonight's game, and as the LA team continues to show off their rock-solid defense, it could be payback time against the Jazz.
Prediction: LA Clippers -3 (-112)
