It’ll be the 3rd and final meeting of the season between the Utah Jazz and LA Clippers tonight as they lock horns at the Crypto.com Arena. I’ve prepared a same game parlay to spice things up for this one, which tips off at 10:00 pm ET on TNT.
We also have predictions on the side and total for the rest of Tuesday’s 5-game slate, including the 1st leg of the NBA on TNT doubleheader between the LA Lakers and Dallas Mavericks.
Let’s get into the Jazz vs Clippers clash now!
Utah Jazz 1-10 win margin (+190)
Donovan Mitchell over 3.5 made threes (-102)
Ivica Zubac over 7.5 rebounds (-128)
Parlay odds: +848
Utah Jazz 1-10 win margin (+190)
Neither team has performed well lately — the Clippers have dropped 5 in a row and the Jazz are on a 4-game losing streak. What’s working in the Jazz’ favor here is their dominance over the Clippers in the 2 meetings played earlier this season. They beat them by 21 and 29 points, both times in Salt Lake City. Tonight the regular-season series ends with a game in Los Angeles, and with the Clippers having home-court advantage it should be a much tighter game than the previous two. Utah is fighting for playoff seeding at the moment, while Los Angeles is pretty much stuck in the 8th spot. It should be a close game, but the Jazz should have enough to pull this one out.

Donovan Mitchell over 3.5 made threes (-102)
With Croatian sharpshooter Bojan Bogdanovic still being out for the Jazz, Mitchell has had to take extra shots on offense over the past couple of weeks. He has had just 1 game with less than 21 shot attempts since March 12 and from three-point land he has attempted at least 11 shots in all but 2 games since then. He’s averaging 4 makes per game on 35.4% from downtown and he likely has a chip on his shoulder tonight as he tries to end the 4-game losing streak his team is on.
The Clippers’ defending of the perimeter hasn’t been good lately — they are allowing 42.3% of makes over their last 3 games which is an increase of almost 8% compared to their season average. Follow the trends and back Mitchell to drain more than a few from distance in this one.

Ivica Zubac over 7.5 rebounds (-128)
Battling Rudy Gobert down low is tough, but I feel like Zubac is up for the challenge. He has been cleaning the glass for LA consistently over the past 10 games, averaging 9.3 rebounds per game. In 34 home games this season he is averaging 8.1 per game and in March he’s grabbing 9.5 of them. He started the month with a streak of 8 straight games with 8 or more rebounds and tonight is the perfect night to return to that form against one of the elite big men in the NBA. Utah has been consistently in the top 5 when it comes to opponent rebounds per game, but over their last 3 games they are giving up 51.3 per game which ranks them only 16th in the NBA during that stretch. Fingers crossed Zubac can capitalize on that.
