Wednesday, October 30 – @ Utah Jazz

After two easy wins, the LA Clippers travel to Utah to face yet another tough Western Conference opponent.

The Jazz had a quiet, but good summer. The team upgraded from Rubio to Mike Conley who seems like the perfect fit next to Donovan Mitchell. They also added Bojan Bogdanovic as their starting four and Jeff Green who can be a versatile threat on certain nights. On defense, they are still anchored by Defensive Player of the Year, Rudy Gobert

Yes, Utah is a very complete team and will be fighting for one of the top spots in the west. Their depth isn’t as impressive as others, but it’s not the worst. Emmanuel Mudiay will need to prove he just wasn’t an empty stats guy on a bad team after leaving the Knicks. Ed Davis will have to reach back in time and be the player he was in LA with the Lakers.

This game could honestly go either way. Having two big wins under their belt should give the Clippers confidence coming in though, so they take the first of the three matchups.
