The Utah Jazz stumbled early in their series against the Memphis Grizzlies. But once Donovan Mitchell returned, the Jazz found a spark in their offense. In their wins, the Jazz averaged 127 points per game. Now, the Jazz look like a well-oiled machine. With a 31-5 regular season record in Utah, there is no better team than the Jazz at home this season.

For the Los Angeles Clippers, all hands will need to be on deck to defeat the Jazz. In Game 7 against the Mavericks, a total of seven different Clippers scored in double figures. To beat a defense as tough as what the Jazz have to offer, the Clippers will need contributions from their starters and bench alike.
