Los Angeles has covered five of the last six meetings, including 108-95 on March 25 when Jamal Crawford came off the bench to score 28 points and DeAndre Jordan grabbed 15 rebounds. Rudy Gobert scored 26 points for the Jazz, which shot just 43.0 percent. Both teams are relatively healthy after battling through injuries this season, but the Clippers are the hotter team. LA has won their last seven games of the regular season and covered the number the last three games. The three-game run included an impressive 125-96 win over Houston where they held James Harden to 14 points, and a 98-87 win at San Antonio. Blake Griffin averages 21.6 points per game for the Clippers and Jordan pulls down 13.8 rebounds. Gordon Hayward leads the Jazz with a 21.9 point average and Gobert averages 14.0 points and 12.8 rebounds. Utah is just 8-22-2 ATS its last 32 games against Western Conference teams. Also, five of the last seven meetings in Los Angeles have gone UNDER and the Clippers have stayed UNDER 13 of their last 16 with exactly two days of rest. The Clippers have stepped it up defensively lately, allowing an average of 92.7 points their last three games. Utah games have been low-scoring all season, especially in the first half where their games averaged just 96.6 points at home. Utah has gone 44-36 UNDER in the first-half overall this season. Dating back to last season, the Jazz are also 30-15 UNDER in the first-half as a road dog. Over that same span, when the first-half total is set in this range (100.5 to 105.5), the Clippers are 51-29 UNDER in the first-half. Since the arrival of Quin Snyder in Utah, the Jazz are 150-87 UNDER in the first-half. Take the Clippers and the UNDER in the first-half and the game.
