Utah Looks to Extend Home Success
The Utah Jazz host the Los Angeles Clippers, who are on the second night of a back-to-back. Thus, the NBA lines favor Utah as Clippers stars Paul George and Kawhi Leonard should rest. As for Utah, the Jazz have won three straight versus the Clippers at home and look to extend it even with Lauri Markannen (hip) hurting.
Let’s check the latest NBA odds, stats, injury report, and NBA lines for Clippers vs Jazz. We’ve plenty of NBA betting odds for you to consider.
Clippers Begin Road Trip Off Back-to-Back
The Los Angeles Clippers took a tough loss against the Philadelphia Sixers on Tuesday night. Now, they head to Utah where they are 1-10 in their last 11 visits. On top of that, the Clippers are also just 3-6 with zero days’ rest. Not having George and potentially Leonard should also shave some points off the Clippers.
This team’s bread-and-butter, its defense, falls when on the road. The Clippers average a 114.5 defensive rating away from home, which is 16th in the league. At home, the team is at 111.1, which is sixth. George and Leonard are also two of the team’s best defenders so the team will miss their size and versatility on the frontcourt.
Expect the Clippers to rely more on their offense, as they’ve typically done on the road. That’s why 14 of the team’s 22 road games have gone over the total. Keep that in mind when betting online on the team.
Fading Jazz Remain Dangerous at Home
The Jazz opened the season on a roll but have since come back to earth. Utah is just 4-8 in its last 12 games but is 4-1 against the spread (ATS) in its last five. One thing remains consistent with Utah: its offense at home. The Jazz put up the fifth-best offensive rating (117.6) while at the Vivint Arena.
But more notable is Utah’s defense at home. The Jazz typically have one of the worst defenses on the road. But at home, the Jazz gets a slight boost likely thanks to some help from the rowdy Salt Lake City fans. This slight improvement to their defense could be the difference between covering and not.
Utah is just 4-9 ATS when they host as a favorite. That’s the third-worst cover rate among teams that have been favored at home at least five 10 times in the sportsbook. Also, keeping an eye on Markannen’s status as Utah’s All-Star will impact this game.
