Utah at Los Angeles

The Utah Jazz franchise is heading in a bad direction. The freefall continues as the Jazz have won fewer games than the season before for three straight seasons, and at 5-19 on the season, this is heading for a 4th straight season worse than the season before. The LA Clippers are just 14-12 on the season, but the NBA Western Conference is all bunched up, with just 1.5 games separating the #5 team from the #12 team. The Clippers can jump from the #9 to the #5 with a win tonight. The Jazz have dropped three of the last four meetings, winning by a point in their only win but losing by 11,14 and 29 points in the three losses. I like the LA Clippers.
