Jazz vs Clippers Betting Pick
This game will be played at Crypto.com Arena at 10:00 PM ET on Sunday, November 6, 2022.
Why Bet The Jazz:
✅ The Clippers are on the first leg of a back to back here, as the whole league is in action on Monday. As a result, Kawhi Leonard and Luke Kennard have already been ruled out for the Clippers. That will negatively impact them on both ends of the floor, and will benefit the Jazz as an underdog in this Sunday night matchup.

✅ Utah has a top-10 offensive rating in the NBA so far this season. The LA Clippers, meanwhile, have the worst offensive rating in the league. Some of that has to do with their reliance on a top-five defensive rating. But a lot of it has to do with the fact that their best player is not on the court reliably right now.
✅ The Clippers are just 1-2 at home so far this season. They have played arguably the weakest schedule in the NBA so far this season, but have only gone 5-4. That is a huge red flag, and the Jazz should be able to punish a Clippers team that just has not played at a high level regularly against poor competition.
Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz are 7-3 to start this season, and they sit a half game behind the Phoenix Suns for the top spot in the Western Conference early on. Utah has been very effective offensively, averaging 117 points per game through their first 10 games. But they will have to solve a stout Clippers defense in order to improve to 8-3 on Sunday night.
For Utah, playing with pace is going to be important in this contest. The Clippers are one of the best defensive teams in the NBA early in the 2022-23 campaign. But if the Jazz can play quickly and not let the Clippers set their defense, Utah could come away with a huge win on the road.
Los Angeles Clippers
The Los Angeles Clippers are 5-4 to start this season, but they have won three straight games and come into this game with momentum on their side. However, some context is required when looking at the results for the Clippers this year. They have played just two games against teams currently above .500 in the NBA, feasting on teams like the Rockets, Thunder, and Spurs in the early going.
Here, the Clippers will have to overcome the loss of Kawhi Leonard to win this game at home against the Jazz. Leonard can impact the game on both ends of the floor better than nearly every player in the NBA. Without him, the Clippers are worse on both ends, and will have to rely more heavily on their defending than usual here.
