Utah Jazz vs LA Clippers Prediction

The Clippers should be huge favorites as they’re at home with the rest advantage, and they’re healthy. The Jazz aren’t good, they’re injured, and they’re on the end of a back-to-back with a game that included overtime. The Jazz also had their heart broken as they made a huge comeback just to lose by the Suns forcing overtime on last-second shots. With all that said, I just saw the Clippers blow a 22-point lead in minutes to the Pacers. The Clippers were turning the ball over left and right and not defending. The Jazz have issues, but they play hard. Give me the points.
