If we have seen one thing in the NBA this season it is that the best teams on the court are usually far from the best bet and the Los Angeles Clippers are one of the proofs. The Clippers are just 10-18-1 ATS this season including 8-14-2 as the faves. Saturday night will see the Clippers pack their bags and head to Utah to take on the Jazz.
- The Jazz are 13-2-2 ATS in their past 17 games hosting the Clippers.
- The OVER is 12-6 in the Clippers last 18 road games.
- Blake Griffin and Chris Paul scored 64 of the Clippers 91 points when these teams met in November.
L.A. will be looking for retribution after a 102-91 loss to the Jazz on Nov. 25 ended their 13-game reign of dominance over Utah. Blake Griffin put the Clippers on his back in that loss as he scored 40 points while also notching 12 rebounds. And it may get easier for Griffin this time around as he will not need to face Rudy Gobert, who strained his MCL on Nov. 30 and has not played since.
The Jazz are just 2-5 SU in their past seven games with the two wins coming over some less-than-amazing teams. Since Gobert went down, the Jazz have become more reliant on the deep ball as they have averaged nearly five more 3-point attempts per game over the past month.
