The Clippers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Friday games and 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games overall. The Jazz are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 home games and 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall. The under is 8-3 in Clippers last 11 overall. The under is 6-2 in Jazz last 8 overall. The Clippers are 9-23-1 ATS in the last 33 meetings in Utah and 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

The Los Angeles Clippers look like a team that's running out of gas due to so many injuries, and they're not a side I'm eager to back against respectable teams. The Utah Jazz are heating up down the stretch, and that includes winning their last five games by an average of 10.8 points. The Jazz win at home by an average of 9.1 points and in the favorite role by an average of 7.7 points. Lot of points, but these are two teams heading in different directions. Give me the Jazz.
