Utah Jazz vs LA Clippers Prediction

The LA Clippers are coming off a rough week with three straight losses, but they were underdogs in all three games. The Clippers seem to lose the games they’re expected to lose and take care of business in the games they’re supposed to. The Utah Jazz continue to have issues defensively, continue to lose, and they’re 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games. It’s hard to back the Jazz with confidence. The Clippers beat the Jazz by 11 points a month ago. Give me the Clippers in a comfortable home win as more of a fade of the Jazz than anything else.
