The Jazz score 104.3 PPG (8th), but they also allow 105.0 PPG (28th).<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63742&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>If they can play harder on the defensive side they\u2019ll win quite a few games this season. Favors leads Utah in points (21.7 PPG), rebounds (9.0 RPG), steals (2.0 SPG) and blocks (2.0 BPG) through three games.<\/p>\n<p>The Clippers just lost at home to the Kings after opening the season with two wins. Jamal Crawford is a bit banged up already, but he\u2019s probable tonight and that\u2019s the only injury of note on both teams.<\/p>\n<p>LAC is averaging 101.0 PPG (15th), 34.7 RPG (30th) and 21.7 APG (12th). They also allow 99.7 PPG (16th) on defense. I\u2019m surprised about the rebounds, as the Clips have Jordan and Griffin in the paint.<\/p>\n<p>Griffin leads the team in points (26.3 PPG) and has been off to a hot start from the field. Jordan leads the team in rebounds (10.7 RPG) and blocks (2.0 BPG). That\u2019s why Jordan is paid and he\u2019s doing a fine job.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63727&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Booker has been a pleasant surprise for the Jazz and Exum is still adjusting to the speed of the game, but he has done well off the bench. The problem is that the Jazz\u2019s bench isn\u2019t as good as the Clips.<\/p>\n<p>The Clippers know how important it is to have a strong bench. Crawford comes off the bench and he\u2019s 2nd on the team in points (19.0 PPG). Hawes is also scoring 10.0 PPG while other players are pitching in.<\/p>\n<p>LAC is too good of a team to lose this one at home against a much weaker Jazz team. I think Favors will have a tough time to get going as well because Jordan is going to hound him in the paint all night.<\/p>\n<h3>Recent NBA Betting Trends<\/h3>\n<p>* UTA are 3-8-2 ATS in their last 13 games overall.<br \/>\n* Over is 15-6-1 in LAC last 22 Mon. games.<br \/>\n* Over is 7-2 in the last 9 meetings in Los Angeles.<br \/>\n* Home team is 23-8-1 ATS in the last 32 meetings.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63741&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<h3>Free NBA Picks: Utah Jazz vs. Los Angeles Clippers<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019m a fan of Utah\u2019s young players including Burke and Burks. Hayward is also talented, but he still needs to work on his shooting consistency. The Jazz also struggle a bit more when playing on the road.<\/p>\n<h3>4* Play on Los Angeles Clippers \u20138.5 (-110)<\/h3>\n<p>The Clippers just lost in front of their fans to the Kings and they\u2019ll be hungry to bounce back tonight. This is a big point spread, but the Clippers should dominate on both sides of the court tonight.<\/p>\n<h3>Check out our\u00a0<a title=\"NBA Betting Odds\" href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/odds\/nba.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">Updated NBA Betting Odds<\/a>.<\/h3>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63706&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NBA Gambling: Jazz vs Clippers The Los Angeles Clippers 2-1 (0-3 ATS) hosts the Utah Jazz 1-2 (1-2 ATS) in the late game tonight.
