The Line

For me, home court advantage is not vital for either of these clubs. The series will be decided on health.  When the Jazz have their preferred starting line-up on the court,, they are 11-2.

If the Clippers lose, this will spend the end of the Paul/Griffin/Jordan era in Los Angeles as the team will look for another avenue to a Championship.

Predicition – Utah Jazz to win in six.
