Utah Jazz – Los Angeles Clippers: season finale showdown
The Jazz host the Clippers for the third and final time this season. They split the earlier meetings, so this one settles the tiebreak. Utah will be missing key pieces, and that could turn what should be competitive into a sloppy night.
Utah Jazz: all bets on offense 
The Jazz have lost four of their last six and are sliding away from a West Play-In spot. Will Hardy’s squad doesn’t defend — just look at the drubbings by Miami (116-147) and Dallas (120-138, 122-144). They’re dead last in points allowed, giving up 127.8 per game.
On the other side, the offense still clicks. The Jazz average 119.0 points (5th in the league) and live off a resurgent Jusuf Nurkic — the center who notched a run of three straight triple-doubles — and the breakout form of Keyonte George, who can catch fire in an instant. Problem is, George won’t suit up for this one, and that absence could seriously dent Utah’s chances.
INJURY REPORT : Keyonte George (OUT) – Walker Kessler (OUT) – Georges Niang (OUT) – Jusuf Nurkic (doubtful) – Lauri Markkanen (questionable) – Kevin Love (probable)
Los Angeles Clippers: closing in on 9th place 
Things are humming for the Clippers: eight wins in their last nine, including tidy victories over the Lakers (112-104) and an overtime scalp of the Raptors (121-117). Tyronn Lue’s group is slowly stalking the 9th seed held by Portland, who still have a game in hand. Experience plus young contributors like Jordan Miller and Kobe Sanders have steadied this roster.
Defense is their calling card. Allowing just 113.0 points per game puts them among the league’s best (8th overall). Their offense sits down the table at 25th (112.6), but when James Harden and Kawhi Leonard click and they control the pace, it’s usually enough to close games out.
INJURY REPORT : Bradley Beal (OUT) – Bogdan Bogdanovic (OUT) – Derrick Jones Jr (OUT) – Kawhi Leonard (questionable) – Kris Dunn (questionable)
NBA Prediction Utah Jazz vs Los Angeles Clippers
Over 229.5 points
The Jazz barely defend this season and everyone knows how to attack them. At home they still manage to hang around, which produces tight, high-scoring affairs. The Clippers are less battered by injuries and have shown they can pile on points when needed to steal a win.

First — a word on our picks
- What we publish on Mathodds is analysis, nothing more. It’s an opinion, a snapshot of the moment — not a promise. Sport is unpredictable: a red card, an injury, a freak moment and everything flips.
- Let’s be blunt: there is no risk-free bet. Even when something seems “obvious”, it’s not. Yes, you can lose. At some point you will.
- Play sensible. Stake small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live. Don’t chase losses — it never ends well.
- Betting should be entertainment, not a job or income source. If it takes over your life or stresses you out, take a break and talk to a specialist if needed.
- Ultimately the responsibility is yours. Reading our content means you accept the risk exists and won’t disappear, even with top analysis.
- Essential reminder: betting is forbidden to minors and must follow your local laws. Gambling can spiral (money loss, family tension, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
