Result:
LOSS

Paul George had 37 points to overcome the absence of injured Kawhi Leonard, who is out again for this game. Utah blew the chance to take a 3-2 series lead at home, and now the Jazz has to go on the road against the Clippers, who have all the momentum after winning three straight. Paul George still has plenty of help as Marcus Morris scored 25 points and Reggie Jackson 22 for Los Angeles in Game 5. Utah's struggles on the offensive end have been a big problem, and there's no sign of it getting better as the Clippers’ defense has been effective since Game 3. Utah is 5-15-1 ATS its past 21 road games versus teams with winning home records and Los Angeles has covered five of its last six as a home underdog. The Jazz have shot only 43.6% the last three games while averaging 107 points, and they can concentrate on defending George in Game 6 with Leonard out. Utah is 11-4 UNDER its past 15 games following a loss, and the Clippers are 7-3 UNDER after an ATS win, 17-7-1 UNDER their past 25 games overall. Also, Los Angeles is 8-3-1 UNDER its last 12 home games and 8-3-2 UNDER its past 13 conference semifinal games. Play the Clippers and the UNDER.
