Utah Jazz vs Los Angeles Clippers Injury Report

Mike Conley hasn’t played all series long for the Jazz due to a hamstring injury and his status is very much in question for a decisive Game 6 here. The veteran guard has been sidelined since the last game of the first round against the Memphis Grizzlies. Donovan Mitchell is also playing with an injured ankle. Yet his stance is confirmed with everything on the line. Both the players are questionable for game 6.

Kawhi Leonard injury

LA Clippers are missing Kawhi Leonard a lot. The all-round player had huge impact both offensively and defensively. He is unlikely to play after confirmed reports that he will miss game 6. Serge Ibaka is also out with a back surgery recently and will miss rest of the season.

Paul George and Jordan Clarkson

Utah Jazz will probably stick to their same conventional starters. Donovan Mitchell, Joe Ingles, Bojan Bogdanovic, Royce O’Neal and Rudy Gobert will start the game. Their go to substitution options will be Jordan Clarkson, Georges Niang, Derrick Favors and Miye Oni.

The LA Clippers will go unchanged after huge performance in game 5. They will start with Marcus Morris Sr., Terance Mann, Nicolas Batum, Paul George and Reggie Jackson. Their go to rotations will be Luke Kennard, Patrick Beverley, Rajon Rondo, Ivica Zubac, Amir Coffey and Jay Scrubb.

The Utah Jazz haven’t been bad at all, but their opponents have been one step ahead of late. Donovan Mitchell is their only player who’s been able to penetrate the paint effectively. With Mitchell playing through his ankle pain, shooting a lot of three-pointers has been the Jazz’s primary offensive strategy. The high volume of shots doesn’t necessarily lead to results, as we witnessed in Game 5.

The LA Clippers have been in control of proceedings in this series since the opening tip of Game 3 and they don’t seem in the mood to slow down. Other role players have stepped up in the absence of Kawhi Leonard and Serge Ibaka. Ty Lue has also been spot-on with his in-game adjustments. There’s no doubt that the LA Clippers and Utah Jazz will play out a barnburner of a game, but Paul George and co. are the favorites to win as things stand. Gear for some action with Utah Jazz vs Los Angeles Clippers predictions and enjoy the thrilling contest.
