3* NBA SMASH on Jazz +1.5
The Jazz will be happy to be back home where they are 6-0 on the season. I expect their home-court dominance to continue against an L.A. squad that has lost its last three on the road both SU and ATS.

The Jazz have owned the Clippers at home over the years. In fact, they are 29-3 SU and 21-10-1 ATS dating back to 1996. Zooming in a few years, we find that Utah is on a 14-3 ATS run at home in the series.

As if the two-game skid the Jazz bring into this game isn't enough motivation, they will be further fueled by losses in their last two meetings with the Clippers. Take the Jazz at home in this highly motivated spot.
