The Los Angeles Clippers will be looking to extend their two-game winning streak when they face the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night. Los Angeles is coming off a 118-112 win at Portland on Tuesday night. Utah is hoping to snap a five-game losing streak following its 114-107 setback against Chicago on Monday.
Los Angeles dealt with some inconsistency early in the season, sitting at 8-7 after its first 15 games. The Clippers have been better since then, winning five of their last seven games. They have bounced back from losses to Golden State and Denver with consecutive wins over Indiana and Portland. Los Angeles trailed by two points with three minutes remaining, but it scored 10 of the game’s final 12 points. Shooting guard Norman Powell was excellent off the bench, pouring in 32 points on 10 of 16 shooting. He knocked down 4 of 5 from beyond the arc, while point guard Reggie Jackson had 24 points and 12 assists.

Center Ivica Zubac had a strong outing as well, posting a double-double with 12 points and 13 rebounds. The Clippers need players to keep stepping up, as leading scorer Paul George is going to be out again on Wednesday due to a hamstring injury. They are also playing without small forward Kawhi Leonard. Point guard John Well sat out on Tuesday to rest, but he is expected to play on Wednesday. The Clippers are dead-last in the NBA offensively, averaging 106.4 points per game. They are facing a Utah defense that is No. 22, allowing 115.5 points per contest.
