Utah Jazz (12-6) vs. Los Angeles Clippers (10-7)
The Utah Jazz and Los Angeles Clippers lock horns Monday, November 21, 2022, at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California, with the tip-off at 10:30 PM ET. It’s their second meeting of the season, and the Jazz beat the Clippers 110-102 as 3.5-point road underdogs with a total of 218.5 points on November 6.
Utah is missing Rudy Gay (hand), while Mike Conley’s status is up in the air because of a knee injury. The Clippers, on the other side, are without Luke Kennard (calf), while Paul George (knee) is questionable to play.
After putting an end to their three-game losing streak with a 134-133 home victory over the Phoenix Suns this past Friday, the Utah Jazz (12-6; 12-6 ATS) upset the Portland Trail Blazers 118-113 as 4.5-point road underdogs on the second day of a back-to-back set. The Jazz took advantage of Damian Lillard’s injury to pull off in the third quarter, and Malik Beasley led the way for Utah with 29 points and six triples off the bench.
“We’re proud of the way we’ve represented ourselves after 18 games,” Jazz coach Will Hardy said. “We believe we can get better. That’s our focus. Like every team, we’re not a finished product yet. That doesn’t mean we’re proud of where we are at this point, but we can’ t get lost in what anybody is saying about us.”
