Clippers forward Paul George led the team in scoring during their 123-110 win over the Trail Blazers on Wednesday.

George also recorded 6 assists, 3 rebounds, and 3 steals while posting a plus-minus of +23 in his team’s victory.

Jazz point guard Jordan Clarkson did all he could in his club’s 130-114 loss to the Kings on Wednesday. In that contest, Clarkson had 24 points on 8 of 16 shooting from the field. He also added 6 assists, 4 rebounds, and 2 made three-pointers to round out his stat line.

Clippers vs. Jazz NBA Prediction
The Utah Jazz seem to play the Los Angeles Clippers well. In these teams’ four matchups last season, Utah won 3 out of 4 games straight up and went 3-1 ATS against Los Angeles. The youth of the Jazz and the altitude of Salt Lake City tend to favor the home team in this matchup. The Clippers started four players who were age 32 or older during their game against the Trail Blazers, while the Jazz started four players who were age 26 or younger in their game against the Kings.
Since the beginning of the 2022 season, the Jazz are 47-34-2 ATS, which is a 58% cover rate. That’s the second-best mark in the NBA during that span with Philadelphia being the only team better than Utah. In a contrarian play, I like the Jazz to win this game outright or come very close to doing so on Friday.
