The Clippers are trying to manage Leonard’s workload and chose to hold him out at Utah on Wednesday and didn’t have quite enough without, going down 110-96 to the Jazz. They bounced back as Kawhi returned with 38 points and 12 rebounds in a 103-97 win over the Spurs on Thursday.
With Kawhi in this time, it’s a different ball game, but don’t count out the Jazz.
OUR PICK – LA Clippers WIN
