Why Bet on the Los Angeles Clippers?

The Clippers seem to need a period of adjustment when starting a series. This time, it took the team two games to get a better read on their opponents, the Utah Jazz. Tyronn Lue’s team is now ahead of the Jazz in points per game (117.5), rebounds (41), and assists (20.3). In addition to that, the Clippers are now shooting better than their opponents at 48.2% as opposed to the Jazz’s 45.1, hitting more shots beyond the arc at 42.1%, and securing more free throws at 84.2.%.

Game 4 produced incredible performances from their star players, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. The two scored 31 points each, with George collecting 9 rebounds and dishing out 4 assists, while Leonard recorded 7 rebounds and 3 assists by the end of the game. After facing heavy criticism, “Playoff P” found his footing and now produces significant numbers for his team. This tandem remains the focal point of the Clippers, giving the team what it needs on both ends of the court, so expect more exposure from the pair in Game 5.

Why Bet on the Utah Jazz?

Donovan Mitchell had to do some heavy lifting in Game 4, as he ended the night with 37 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists. It was a tough game from start to finish as they found themselves struggling in the first half, trailing by 24 points by halftime. They were able to outscore the Clippers in the third and fourth quarter, but it wasn’t enough to close down the gap. Quin Snyder needs to rush a plan to match the Clippers’ offense and fortify his team’s defense at the same time. If he can do this in time, they can start building some more momentum and close down the gaps once again.

Donovan Mitchell hasn’t put his foot off the gas pedal just yet. He continues to bring in the numbers for his team, putting up an average of 37.3 points per game since the beginning of the series. If he can get more consistent support from his team moving forward and Mike Conley gets the go signal, there’s a hefty chance that the Jazz takes the series back in Game 5.

Clippers vs. Jazz Expert Betting Prediction

The outcome of this game might dictate who goes on to the next round. If Conley can get back on track by this time, it puts the Jazz in a better position. Once they start getting all of the pieces back together, the No. 1 Western Conference team is a definite force to be reckoned with.

Meanwhile, the only hope of LA now gets some traction to make the series more interesting. Covering the spread shouldn’t be a problem for the Clippers this time around, and a win is never off the table with this team. Ultimately, we anticipate a tight battle between the two.
