Jazz @ Clippers

That 12.5-point spread is straight disrespectful to Utah. Yeah, the Clippers are home, but look at these records - we're talking about two teams drowning in mediocrity right now.
Jazz went 4-6 in their last ten, but they're actually playing with more fight than expected. Utah's young guys are scrapping, and they've been keeping games closer than people think. Meanwhile, LAC at 5-5 in their last ten sounds decent until you realize they're beating up on bottom-feeders and folding against anyone with a pulse.
Clippers are dealing with the same old story - key guys banged up, inconsistent effort, and way too comfortable laying double digits when they shouldn't be. The talent gap between these squads isn't 12 points, especially with how both teams have looked lately.
Utah's been frisky as road dogs, and this number screams "bet the bad team getting too many points." Clippers win but don't cover.
