Utah Jazz vs LA Clippers preview

The Jazz are a rebuilding team and aren’t expected to contend in a tough Western Conference. They are coming off of a 121-117 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Saturday. Lauri Markkanen found his stride with 25 points, but the team had no answers for De’Aaron Fox’s 49 points and nine assists.

Despite playing without Kawhi Leonard, the Clippers started the season strong. They were 6-3 until the past week, but a three-game losing streak has snapped their momentum. LA is coming off a blowout 125-104 loss to the Houston Rockets in an Emirates NBA Cup game on Friday.

James Harden led the team with 21 points, but the rest of the starters struggled. Norman Powell, who was having a great start to the season, put up just eight points, two rebounds and one assist. Powell needs to get going, as Harden by himself cannot lead the Clippers to wins.

Collin Sexton’s points total is set at 14.5. Oddsmakers favor him to go over, and this seems like a safe bet, as he averages 15.9 points per game on the season.

Norman Powell’s point total is set at 19.5. After a tough game on Friday, expect Powell to have a bounceback matchup against the struggling Jazz.

Utah Jazz vs LA Clippers prediction

The Clippers are heavily favored by the oddsmakers to win this game at home. While they are expected to get the win, their recent struggles imply they might not cover the spread. Otherwise, this should be a fairly high-scoring game with the team total going past 221.5 points.
