The Clippers are currently seventh in the Western Conference standings. They are looking to rebound from a three-game losing streak, with their most recent defeat being a 119-112 loss to the Indiana Pacers. In that game, James Harden delivered a double-double, contributing 22 points and 10 assists. The absence of star forward Kawhi Leonard has been felt, as the team has struggled both offensively and defensively during this skid. Despite these challenges, the Clippers have shown resilience throughout the season and will aim to leverage their home-court advantage in this matchup. 

The Utah Jazz, positioned 14th in the Western Conference, are coming off a narrow 131-128 victory against the Golden State Warriors, where Jordan Clarkson led the team with 31 points. This win was a rare highlight in an otherwise challenging season. The Jazz have been focusing on developing their young core, including players like Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen, and Walker Kessler. Their performance on the road has been subpar, and they will be looking to build momentum as the season progresses.

The Jazz will be coming off a game the previous night, LA is at home, and Jame Harden has been in prime form as pf late. All signs point to a great spot for the Clippers. Final Score Prediction, we like LA to take advantage of the Jazz fatigue and secure a home victory, 111-102.
