SAT JAZZ (+375).

Against the spread

Jazz are 3-1 ATS in their last 4 games. The Clippers have not covered the spread in their last 4 games and are 3-6-1 ATS in their last 10.

The safest bet is to let the Jazz cover +9.5, but if you go with the outright win, there’s no reason to bet the spread unless you’re looking to hedge.

PASS.

Over/Under

The Jazz have played 7 straight games with totals higher than 220.

Two of their 4 meetings last season had totals over 220.

While the Clippers only have 3 such games in their last 10, 2 have come in the last 3 games.

SET ABOVE 220.5 (-110).
