Clippers vs. Jazz prediction and odds for NBA Summer League (Value on total)

The Jazz went 1-2 in the Utah Summer League as a tune-up for Las Vegas, and now open its campaign against the Los Angeles Clippers.

First round pick Keyonte George looks to jump start the Jazz Summer League team against the Clippers, who have No. 30 pick Kobe Brown headlining a roster. We don't know what to expect from Los Angeles, who have one player with NBA experience in Jason Preston (14 games), how should we bet on this late night showdown?

Here are the odds:

Clippers vs. Jazz odds, spread and total

Spread:

  • Clippers: +3.5 (-110)
  • Jazz: -3.5 (-110)

Moneyline:

  • Clippers: +150
  • Jazz: -190

Total: 183.5 (Over -110/Under -110)

Clippers vs. Jazz prediction and pick

There are plenty of questions around this Clippers roster with little high profile prospects entering Summer League, but my point of attack is going to be on the total.

The Jazz played in several high scoring affairs in Utah, averaging 185 points across the three games, but each of those three teams have more proven shot makers on hand than the Clippers, who have one proven ball handler (Preston) and shot maker (Brown).

While the likes of Jordan Miller and Moussa Diabate are intriguing, I'm not sure how they will translate in each players first taste of NBA action.

Instead, I'll eye the total.

There are plenty of wings on the Clippers, no player is taller than 6'11" (Diabate) and the team will likely implement a switch-heavy scheme, similar to how the pro team does with a five-wing lineup at times.

That makes me confident this will be more of a grinding game as the Clippers try to slow this game down on defense as the team figures out how to generate sound offense, leading me to take the under.

PICK: UNDER 183.5
