Utah at Los Angeles

These teams met Friday and it was a high scoring affair with the Clippers rallying to keep their winning streak alive. But this is at the Staples Center and the LA Clippers have been an outstanding defensive team, light years from where they were even a year ago.  The Clippers allow .427% shooting as a team, third best in the NBA, and rank fourth in the league in points allowed at 92.1 ppg. This win streak has been fueled by defense, allowing 77, 77, 77, 85, 77, 76 and 85 points in seven of the last eight games. Utah is best on offense at home, but in their last four road games they've scored 97, 89, 84 and 92 points. And when these teams last met on this court the Jazz scored 22 points in the first quarter and 23 in the second. Play the Jazz/Clippers First Half UNDER the Total.
