This line has flipped, making Utah the underdog. My simulations now show the Jazz covering 57 percent of the time. Play the dog.
Even without Rudy Gobert, one of the best post defenders in the NBA and a capable corer, the Jazz were just a couple breaks away from taking a 2-0 series lead against the Clippers. The first two games have shown that their fundamentally sound style is likely to win out against the flashier style favored by Los Angeles. Gobert should be back and Utah has a strong home-court environment. Jazz win Game 3 on Friday.
If you got the right number in Game 2, Utah covered for the second straight time. Let's continue to back the Jazz as the series shifts to Salt Lake City.
