Utah Jazz at Los Angeles Clippers Game 3 odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Saturday’s Utah Jazz at Los Angeles Clippers Game 3 NBA Playoffs odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The 1-seed Utah Jazz and 4-seed Los Angeles Clippers play Game 3 of their Western Conference second-round series Saturday at Staples Center in Los Angeles. Tip-off is set for 8:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Jazz vs. Clippers odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Jazz scratched out a pair of home victories against the Clippers in Salt Lake City, averaging 114.5 PPG while allowing 110.0 PPG. They covered the number in each outing.

While the Clippers failed to cover both games in Salt Lake, and they also failed to cover both Game 1 and 2 against the Mavericks in the first round. They covered Game 3 in Dallas, and finished the final five games 4-1 ATS.

Jazz at Clippers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Clippers 116, Jazz 109

Money line (ML)

The CLIPPERS (-190) are a little more expensive than I prefer on the money line, as my usual limit is around -180, but sometimes you have to make exceptions. Los Angeles won and covered in a pressure-packed Game 7 in round one, and they’ll take this must-start game against Utah.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

CLIPPERS -4 (-115) is the way to go in Game 3. In the series against Dallas, they failed to cover the first two games before bouncing back in Game 3 for a win and cover. They covered in a 116-112 win against the Jazz in the most recent regular-season meeting at Staples on Feb. 19, and they’ll protect the home court in this one, too.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 223.5 (-110) is the lean, ever so slightly. The Over has connected in five of the past seven on the road for the Jazz, and most trends point to a higher scoring game for the visitors.

However, don’t get crazy. The Under is 7-2-1 in the past 10 at home for Los Angeles, and 17-7-1 in the past 25 games overall. The Over cashed in Game 2, however. Be careful, and play the Over lightly.

Utah Jazz at Sacramento Kings odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Sunday’s Utah Jazz at Sacramento Kings NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Utah Jazz (51-20) and Sacramento Kings (31-40) wrap up the regular season Sunday at Golden 1 Center. Tip-off is set for 9 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Jazz vs. Kings odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Jazz can secure the No. 1 seed in the West Sunday with a win or a Phoenix Suns loss earlier in the afternoon at the San Antonio Spurs. Utah snapped a two-game skid with a 109-93 victory at the Oklahoma City Thunder Friday, covering as a 15.5-point favorite.

The Kings were dumped in back-to-back games at Memphis Thursday and Friday, but they did cover the spread in each. In fact, they’re 4-0 against the spread (ATS) across the past four outings.

Jazz at Kings: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Jazz 134, Kings 116

Money line (ML)

The Jazz (-750) have it all on the line, and they are a good bet to get it done on the road. But you can’t risk seven and a half times your potential return. Look to the spread instead.

AVOID.

Against the spread (ATS)

The JAZZ -11 (-110) spanked the Kings in Sacramento last time these teams faced each other on April 28, with Utah rolling to a 154-105 win, cover and Over result. They’ll be playing with reckless abandon in this game, trying to wrap up the No. 1 seed, so don’t expect them to let off the gas at any point.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 226.5 (-110) is the play in this one. Utah rolled up a ridiculous 154 points in its last visit to California’s capital city, and it should be able to put up a healthy amount of points on Sacto in the regular-season finale with a No. 1 seed on the line.

Utah Jazz at Golden State Warriors odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Monday’s Utah Jazz at Golden State Warriors NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Utah Jazz (50-18) travel to meet the Golden State Warriors (35-33) Monday at Chase Center in San Francisco. Tip-off is set for 10 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Jazz vs. Warriors odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Jazz enter on a five-game win streak while cashing against the spread (ATS) in three of the past four outings. The Over has also hit in three in a row for Utah.

The Warriors pounded the Oklahoma City Thunder in a two-game series sweep, winning 118-97 on Thursday, and 136-97 on Saturday. The Dubs have won four of the past five overall, while also going 4-1 ATS during the span.

Jazz at Warriors: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Warriors 122, Jazz 117

Money line (ML)

The WARRIORS (+125) are worth a look as underdogs on their home court, as they have done it before against the Jazz (-150).

Golden State topped Utah 131-119 on March 14 in San Francisco, winning outright as 7.5-point underdogs as the Over cashed.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The WARRIORS +3 (-110) aren’t as good a value as they are playing them straight up, but you do buy a little bit of wiggle room in the event of a one-possession game.

If the Jazz -3 (-110) win by a bucket, you would still win, but personally, I like the Warriors much better straight up.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 226.5 (-110) is the play there. Utah has scored 124 or more points in each of the past three outings, hitting the Over in each. The Over is 5-2 in the previous seven for the Jazz, too.

The Over hit in the second end of the OKC back-to-back for the Warriors, and the Over is 2-0 in the first two meetings between these teams this season, too.

San Antonio Spurs at Utah Jazz odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Wednesday’s San Antonio Spurs at Utah Jazz NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The San Antonio Spurs (31-33) play the second of a two-game set against the Utah Jazz (47-18) Wednesday at Vivint Arena. Tip-off is set for 9 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Spurs-Jazz odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Spurs suffered a 110-99 loss Monday at Vivint Arena against the Jazz in the front end of the set. It was their fourth consecutive loss, though San Antonio has posted an impressive 5-1-1 ATS record across the past seven outings.

The Jazz connected on 50 percent of their shots in Monday’s win, including 11 three-pointers. Utah is 1-5 ATS in the past six games overall, although they did cover in Monday’s game.

Spurs at Jazz: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Jazz 109, Spurs 104

Money line (ML)

The Jazz (-300) are way too expensive even though they just won convincingly in the front end of the double dip. You can’t lay three times your potential return, as over the long haul that’s a losing betting strategy.

AVOID.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The SPURS +7.5 (-110) are a decent play catching nearly four buckets, although on the surface it looks like a bad play. However, the Spurs have covered seven of the past nine after losing by 10 or more points in their previous game, including outright wins in each of the past three in such situation.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 222.5 (-110) is the play here. Yes, the Over is 4-1 in San Antonio’s past five overall, but the Under is 13-6 in the past 19 meetings in Salt Lake City, including Monday’s battle. And the Under has dominated for the Jazz lately, hitting in eight of their past nine as a favorite and five straight at home.

Utah Jazz at Los Angeles Lakers odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Saturday’s Utah Jazz at Los Angeles Lakers NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Utah Jazz (42-14) visit the Los Angeles Lakers (34-22) at Staples Center at 4:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Jazz-Lakers odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Jazz are looking for a third straight victory, posting wins by eight or more points against the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers in their most recent games.

Utah enters on an 0-3 against the spread skid, however, and they’re just 3-7 ATS across the past 10.

The Lakers are looking to rebound after a 121-113 loss at the hands of the Boston Celtics on Thursday. L.A. has alternated wins and losses in each of the past 10 games, going 5-5 ATS during the stretch.

One thing that has been consistent lately for the Lake Show is the Over, cashing in five of the past six outings.

Jazz at Lakers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Jazz 119, Lakers 108

Money line (ML)

The Jazz (-300) will cost you three times your potential return, and that’s risky business on the road against the defending champs. Over the long haul you’ll lose plenty of these and find yourself in the red.

PASS.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The JAZZ -7 (-110) remain without their two biggest stars, A.D. and LeBron, and they’ll be hard-pressed to keep it within four buckets. The big news for the visitors is the health of Donovan Mitchell. If he cannot play, this wager is less attractive.

The Jazz beat the Lakers 114-89 on Feb. 24 in Salt Lake City in a game LeBron was able to play.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 216.5 (-110) is attainable for Over bettors, with or without Mitchell in the lineup. The Lakers coughed up 121 points last time out, and they have registered Over results in five of the past six outings. You can expect another one here.
