What to Know

The Utah Jazz and the Los Angeles Clippers will battle for a spot in the playoff semifinals at 10 p.m. ET June 8 at Vivint Smart Home Arena. Averaging 123.40 points per matchup, the Utah squad has been an offensive juggernaut in the playoffs, so hopefully Los Angeles' defense is prepared for a test.

The Jazz earned some more postseason success in their game last Wednesday. They captured a comfortable 126-110 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Shooting guard Donovan Mitchell was the offensive standout of the contest for Utah, shooting 5-for-8 from beyond the arc and finishing with a double-double on 30 points and ten assists in addition to six rebounds.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles didn't have too much trouble with the Dallas Mavericks at home on Sunday as they won 126-111. Los Angeles' small forward Kawhi Leonard did his thing and almost dropped a triple-double on 28 points, ten boards, and nine dimes.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Utah is expected to win a tight contest on Tuesday. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a four-game streak of ATS wins.

A pair of defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Jazz have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 44.70%, which places them second in the league. As for the Clippers, they enter the matchup with only 107.8 points allowed per game on average, good for fourth best in the league.
