Game 44: Utah Jazz vs LA Clippers

7:30 PM PST/10:30 PM EST on Wednesday, January 16th

Another team destined for great achievements this year is the Utah Jazz. With 2nd-Year Pro Donovan “Spida” Mitchell, Rudy Gobert and key role players such as Joe Ingles, Derrick Favors, Ricky Rubio and others, this team is sure poised to make some noise come April and May.

The Jazz are also known for their stifling defense which has been one of the league’s best in the last couple of season’s under Head Coach Quin Snyder.

In order for the Clippers to take this one, they must take advantage of their open looks against Utah as well as preventing any breakway/fastbreak chances for the Jazz.

The Clippers have many defensive options to throw at Donovan Mitchell and prevent him from throwing down some monster slams like he did last year.

This will definitely be a tight race to the finish but Utah will get stops and score when it matters most.
