Jazz at Clippers picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 109, Clippers 105

Moneyline

The Clippers have 3 straight wins and 5 on the season, but their 5 wins are against teams that are all .500 and below. The best team they have beaten are the 5-5 Spurs.

The Jazz are 3-3 on the road this season, but are healthier than the Clippers. The are 5th in the league in scoring, putting up 117.0 points per game, while the Clippers are the league’s worst offense, scoring 102.3 points per game.

BET JAZZ (+133).

Against the spread

The Jazz are 7-3 ATS and the Clippers are 3-6 ATS.

The Jazz covered the spread in each of their last 4 games. The Clippers covered the spread in each of their last 2 games, but failed to do so in 5 consecutive games before that.

But expecting an outright Jazz win on the road, while betting the spread isn’t a bad play at +3.5 (-105), you get so much more of a return sticking with the moneyline. PASS. 

Over/Under

Only 1 of the Clippers’ games this season has passed 220 total points. The Over has hit once for the Clippers so far.

Meanwhile, 7 of the Jazz’ 10 games have had more than 220 total points.

The Clippers, while they have the lowest-scoring offense in the league, allow the 4th-fewest at 106.2 points per game.

Take UNDER 220 (-110).
