Los Angeles at Utah

The Clippers can play tough defense, #11 in the NBA in points allowed and #10 in field goal shooting defense, but this is a tough situational spot for them without star Chris Paul at the end of a five-game trek. It's also their 10th road game in the last 11 contests. The Clippers are 3-7 ATS away against a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. They run into a Utah team that is all about great defense, tops in the league in points allowed and third in field goal shooting defense. Utah is home for the second straight game. They are 14-6 ATS at home against a team with a winning road record. Utah is also 13-6 UNDER the total against the Western Conference, plus 11-4 UNDER after allowing 100+ points. And the Clippers are on a 7-18-1 ATS run at Utah. Play the Utah Jazz and UNDER the total.
