In their last games the Jazz beat the Philadelphia 76ers 88-71 and the Clippers lost to the Toronto Raptors 110-98.
The Clippers are getting over a tough stretch of games where they only went 1-3, but they are at home and big 11.5-point favorites over a Jazz team that has won 2 straight.
The Clippers have beaten the Jazz in 11 straight games.
[dfads params=’groups=63727&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
The Clippers had their 8-game home winning streak snapped with their last loss to the Raptors.
The Clippers have already beaten the Jazz twice this season and in 5 of their last 6 home games facing Utah they have shot over 50% from the floor.
While the Clippers have a high scoring offense ranking 4th in the league in points per game their D only ranks 20th in opponents’ points per game. Blake Griffin has combined to score 59 points in the 2 wins of the Jazz this season and Chris Paul was averaging over 23 ppg in 4 straight games before struggling in the loss to the Raptors.
Gordon Hayward leads 5 players averaging in double figures for the Jazz and while he was cold in the win over the 76ers he has combined to score 57 points in the 2 games facing the Clippers this season.
The Jazz will need to shoot the rock well from the outside tonight to open up the lane for the big man duo of Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter, who are combining to average over 29 points.
The Jazz ranked in the middle of the pack on defense, 17th in the league in opponents’ points allowed, and they have to play solid D since they only rank 23rds in the league in scoring. It is key that they play solid perimeter defense tonight, as the Clippers have 3 legit 3-point shooters in Paul, J.J. Reddick, and Jamaal Crawford.

After losing 11 of 12 the Jazz have rebounded with 4 wins in their last 5 games.
