Sunday, November 6th, 2022 finds the Utah Jazz facing the LA Clippers for the first of four meetings between the clubs this season. LA will host again on November 21st while the Jazz will host their two meetings on November 30th and January 18th.
Both teams last played Friday with the Jazz routing the Lakers 130-116 while the Clippers defeated the Spurs 113-106.
Last season, the teams played three times with the Jazz winning two of the three contests. The Jazz holds the all-time record having bested the Clippers in 111 of their 193 matches.
Utah Jazz
Although the Jazz has leveled off somewhat they continue to battle in matches they probably have no business being competitive in. It’s a testament to new head coach Will Hardy and the scrappiness of the individuals who form the nucleus of the roster.
Overall, the Jazz is averaging 117.0 points per game ranking fifth-best, and are shooting 46.5% from the field (18th). Their initial hot spell from the perimeter has also leveled off to a more logical 36.7% which still ranks a decent 12th.
They reside in the middle of the pack defensively allowing 112.4 points per game which ranks 14th and their opponents are shooting 46.1 percent from the field tied with the Raptors in 13th and an impressive 32.3 percent from deep which ranks fourth-best.
Leandro Bolmaro (conditioning) is out.
LA Clippers
Despite their struggles, the Clippers show signs of strength particularly defensively. LA holds opponents to 106.2 points per game which ranks third-best in the association.
Opponents show well below average from the field (43.6%) and perimeter (32.5%) ranking third and second best respectively.
The ongoing issue for the Clippers is their offense which is somewhat mind-boggling given the depth of their roster. They score the fewest points per game: 102.3.
Despite consecutive matches versus the Rockets and injury-riddled Spurs line-up their efficiencies barely improved — they shoot 46.8 percent from the field (16th) and 32.9 percent from the perimeter (26th) respectively.
Looking at the deep roster offers reason for concern as Paul George’s key stats are below last season. Likewise, Norman Powel. is scoring half as much as last season (10.9 vs. 21.4).
His 3-point shot which was one of his major strengths has dipped dramatically — Powell hasn’t shot below 39.9% in four seasons but is shooting 27.8% this season.
Add Reggie Jackson to this list of those struggling as he’s averaging 10 points down from 16.8 while shooting 36.2% from the field and 25.6% from deep also down from last year.
Yet the big blue elephant in the room is the health of Kawhi Leonard who already is struggling with knee soreness and the team has moved beyond load management to real concerns regarding his recovery.
He’s played in just two matches this season and has been put on the shelf with no clear report on his expected return date.
Luke Kennard (chest) and Robert Covington (quarantine) are out Sunday and Leonard (knee) is out indefinitely.

Free Utah Jazz vs. LA Clippers NBA Prediction:
This Jazz team won’t just raise a white flag regardless of the score and the individuals on this roster intent to show they’re worthy of playing a role on a winning team.
It’s sort of an oxymoron –the LA guys tend to be braggadocious about their expectations to win the title while the Jazz guys feel neglected, forgotten, and yes even dismissed.
That could make for a caustic situation and a chippy affair. Ultimately, the Clippers SHOULD be the better team but Lauri Markkanen and the Jazz group could get the last laugh.
I’ll take the Jazz and the points – and while I took LA to win I could easily be convinced Utah also gets the ‘W’.
