Jazz-Clippers Game 4 odds

The Jazz-Clippers game 4 odds are live at BetRivers.com and while a win could send the series back to Utah for an elimination game, the health of Donovan Mitchell is the top priority. The Clippers picked up the win in Game 3 Saturday thanks to a 26-point victory.

If you’re a Utah Jazz fan, this is the last thing that you want to see:

That’s Donovan Mitchell leaving Game 3 with his right foot wrapped in ice. He aggravated an ankle injury that kept him out for 16 games earlier this season, and while he said afterward that the only reason he didn’t return to the game was that the game was effectively over at that point, it’s still a concern given that Mike Conley’s status with a hamstring injury is still up in the air.

Beyond the simple fact that, you know, those are Utah’s two star guards, the issue here is that the Clippers’ defense is at their best when they switch everything on that end. That’s their goal. Limit the minutes that Ivica Zubac plays, use Markieff Morris at the five, and force Rudy Gobert away from the basket, defending in space. The way to beat a switching defense? Have talented, playmaking guards that can hunt mismatches and win in isolation.

Mitchell can do that. Conley, too.

Without them, we’re hoping that Jordan Clarkson, Joe Ingles and Miye Oni are the answer?

My guess is that Mitchell plays tonight and Conley does not. With that in mind, I think I still like the Clippers to cover here. The play is clearly the Clippers if Mitchell is out — Game 4 closed at (-5) when Mitchell was in the lineup.

The only play I like is the over if Mitchell suits up. We’ve been riding overs all series and they are now 3-0 (Game 1 closed at 220.5). The logic is simple: When the Clippers go small, neither team is built to stop the other. When there are bad matchups all over the floor, bet on points.

Life’s too short to bet the under.
