Utah Jazz vs Los Angeles Clippers: Game Thread

Russ Isabella-USA TODAY Sports

The Utah Jazz are back at it again after their two game road trip (two independent games on the road separated by two nights off), they beat the Houston Rockets and lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder. They face another Western Conference playoff team tonight, hosting the Los Angeles Clippers. LAC is trying to get healthy for a long playoff run. That's where the Jazz are as well, but health is favoring Doc Rivers' club tonight. I'd say that the Jazz playing at home should make a difference, but the team has been far from dominant in the #801 this season.

It should be a good one if you like star players getting crappy calls and heading to the line all night long - even if they are the road team.
