Smart Game Analysis
Los Angeles Clippers has a 78% chance of winning the game
The surging Clippers enter with a five-game winning streak and home-court advantage against a Jazz team plagued by key injuries and recent defensive struggles.
Key Analysis
- • Utah is confirmed to be without starting center Jusuf Nurkic and rookie Ace Bailey, leaving them vulnerable in the paint.
- • Kawhi Leonard is in peak form, averaging 37.8 points per game during Los Angeles' current five-game winning streak.
- • The Clippers possess significant momentum after a dominant 41-point victory over the Kings, contrasting with Utah's five losses in their last seven games.
- • Utah's defense has been porous on the road, recently conceding 129 points to Boston and struggling to contain high-scoring wings.
- • Los Angeles faces its own size deficit with Ivica Zubac out, but their small-ball pace has proven effective during their recent run.
- • To upset the favorites, the Jazz must get a high-volume scoring performance from Lauri Markkanen to exploit the Clippers' lack of rim protection.
