Monday Night NBA Opinion [B]Monday, March 1st
Utah @ LA Clippers
Recommendation: Take the Jazz -6[/B]
The Jazz continue to be pointspread machines, entering tonight’s game with the NBA’s best ATS record. Utah is not a public team -- they don’t have any superstars and they don’t play on national TV every week. That has allowed them to retain their value for months on end. They’ve won and covered seven of their last eight road games dating back to mid-January, winning six of those contests by seven points or more.
As a road favorite, Utah has consistently and repeatedly taken care of business, 6-1 ATS in their last seven tries in this role. And the Jazz have absolutely owned the Clippers: 8-1 SU and ATS in the last night meetings, including 109-99, 89-73 and 109-93 wins and covers right here at the Staples Center.
The Clippers lost in Sacramento last night, and they’ve been awful on the second night of back-2-backs, losing by 18 at home against Atlanta and by 30 at Golden State in their last two tries. Kim Hughes squad has faced three opponents with a winning record since the All Star break. They’ve lost all three of those games by 13 points or more, simply non-competitive against quality foes.
[B]Take Utah. [/B]
