LiontipsUtah vs Clippers. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
During the regular season Jazzmen were performing great and were pretty consistent, so they finished first on the Western conference. Team is one of the main title contenders now and it is hard to argue with that.
Utah also played great during the first play-off round and lost only one game to Memphis (109:112). Donovan Mitchell and his partners have suffocated their opponents and advanced into the next round without any problems.
In the second series Jazz got the Los Angeles team as the opponent. The clash against the Clippers is a real challenge, because so far there is no favourite here, because the score is even.
Clippers deserved some credit, they are trying to fight until the end and that helps them to keep the head above water. Team lacks some consistency, but despite that, they are still in the playoffs.
In the first round Clippers were up against the strong Dallas team. We saw seven thrilling matches and a real intrigue, where the Los Angeles outfit came out as winners.
Tyronn Lue's guys lost first two away matches in the second play-off round. It is not a good result for Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, so they switched on their leadership and helped the team to level the score in the series.
