NBA - 815 Utah Jazz @ 816 Los Angeles Clippers
Projected line: 185 points | LA Clippers by 8 points
***DOUBLE DIME PLAY***
The Jazz are coming from a bizarre home game against the Kings last night, where the two teams had 16 and 27 offensive rebounds plus 32 and 52 free throw attempts! Sacramento scored a lot of points where they're good with 9-13 FG in transition and 7-10 FG in offensive rebounds, but they struggled badly in two areas: spot ups as usual with 4-16 FG and post up with 3-17 FG! On the other hand, Utah had a good game from Big Al with 11-21 FG, their problem was the rest. They shot 15-32 FG at the rim, with Favors shooting 0-9 FG from this area! Besides that, the Jazz struggled on the outside and they also shot 3-15 FG in offensive rebound plays. Even though they had a good distribution in minutes, Big Al still played 35 minutes, Hayward 36 minutes, Millsap 30 minutes and Burks 34 minutes!
The Clippers are coming from a lucky win against the Blazers yesterday, in a game where Aldridge didn't play and the Clippers relaxed due to the low difficulty of the game and almost lost it at the end! Portland dominated the boards and had an easy task down low with 8-14 FG at the rim and 11-17 FG from 3-9 feet! Offensively, the Clippers did what they wanted from the Blazers with good inside-out plays! For today, I expect a much better focus from the Clippers who had two clear edges in P&R ball handler, where they are #1 on offense against #29 defense from Utah and also in ISO plays, where they are #6 in offense, while Utah is just #24 on defense. At the same time, the poor Clippers spot up defense won't be explored by the Jazz, who are poor on this kind of plays. I believe the Clippers will have a good win today after their scare yesterday and they will put a lot of effort on defense, eventually stopping Utah's offense. Therefore, I will take the Clippers in here in a Single Dime and the Under in a Double Dime Play!
