The Utah Jazz (50-31) play the Los Angeles Clippers (47-34) tonight in the Staples Center, going back there after unfortunately dropping that game against the Lakers. The Jazz won their final home game of the season against the Denver Nuggets, shutting out Jokic, who went 2p/5r/2a on Donovan Mitchell’s 46p/7r/4a, Rudy Gobert’s 20p/10r, and Joe Ingles’ 10p/6r/13a.
As of last night, with the Rockets losing a close battle against the Thunder off of a crazy Paul George game winner, and the Trail Blazers pulling it out late against the Lakers off of Moe Harkless of all people hitting the clutch corner 3, the Jazz are locked into the 5th seed with effectively no control over their playoff opponent.
