| Utah Jazz Line | +8 |
| Los Angeles Clippers Line | -8 |
| Total | 224.5 |

In their previous meeting earlier this season, the Clippers won 116-105 at home. The Clippers are 3-1 against the spread in their last 4 meetings. Under is 3-1 in their last 4 meetings. The Jazz have been terrible this season, and their struggling offense, that ranks on the bottom-10 of the league both in points scored and in field goal percentage, will face with the fifth-best defense, so they will have a hard time scoring. The value here lies with the home team, so pick the Los Angeles Clippers to win and cover at home. Pick: Los Angeles Clippers -8
