Last Updated: 08/08/2019 at 4:51 AM ET

The Utah Jazz complete a back-to-back on Wednesday when they visit the Los Angeles Clippers after hosting the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday. Utah was defeated by the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday 113-109 which snapped the Jazz’s seven-game winning streak. Rudy Gobert led the Jazz with 21 points and 10 points, while Donovan Mitchell added 19.

The Clippers lost their third straight on Sunday after falling to the Golden State Warriors 131-104. Landry Shamat led the Clippers with 17 points. Los Angeles played without guard Patrick Beverley who was recovering from a hip pointer. The Clippers are tied for seventh with San Antonio in the Western Conference playoff race, but are eighth on the tiebreaker and a loss to Utah almost guarantees a first round encounter with Golden State.
Donovan Mitchell leads the Jazz in scoring with an average of 23.5 points per game. The leading rebounder is Rudy Gobert with an average of 12.9 per game, while Ricky Rubio is the leader in assists with an average of 6.1 per game. As a team, Utah is shooting 46.8% from the field and 35.6% from 3-point territory.

Lou Williams is the leading scorer and leader in assists for the Clippers with averages of 20.0 points and 5.4 assists per game. Montrezl Harrell leads the Clippers in rebounds with an average of 6.5 per game. The Clippers are shooting 47.1% from the field and 38.6% from 3-point territory.

Utah has covered the number in 4 of the last 5 meetings versus the Clippers and in 6 of the last 7 played in LA. The Clippers have three players – JaMychal Green, Danilio Gallinari and Patrick Beverley – questionable for Wednesday’s game with Utah. Los Angeles has more at stake in this matchup but could be undermanned. Utah depending upon the outcomes of Tuesday games could rest players. Final Score Prediction, Utah Jazz win and cover ATS 113-103.
