Jazz vs Clippers Semi-final
Jazz:
Mike Conley’s presence in Game 1 is still a question mark. The Jazz who lost the first game against the Grizzlies, made a straight 4 wins to overpower them and are now up to face the semifinals with the LA clippers. The Utah Jazz is on the No. 2 in the offensive rating in the league with 123.4, just behind the Nets.
Also, this is not the same Jazz team that gave up and surrendered a 3-1 lead in last year’s playoffs, and they are out to prove it.
Predicted lineup:
- Bojan Bogdanovic– Forward
- Royce O’Neale– Forward
- Rudy Gobert– Center
- Donovan Mitchell– Guard
- Mike Conley – Guard
During Game 5 between the Jazz and Grizzlies last night, Mike Conley left in the second quarter after experiencing right hamstring soreness. This morning an MRI revealed a mild right hamstring strain. He will be reevaluated prior to Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Clippers:
For the clippers, Kawhi Leonard has stepped up his game for the team when it was of the most need and he managed to put up 45 and 28 points in Games 6 and 7, including key baskets in clutch situations. Kawhi and George have averaged 32.1 and 23.6 points per game, respectively. The clippers have the 6th best offense in the playoffs but they surely have to execute more to win the semis.
Predicted lineup:
- Reggie Jackson- Guard
- Paul George – Guard
- Nicolas Batum- Center
- Kawhi Leonard – Forward
- Marcus Morris- Forward
KAWHI WITH AUTHORITY!

Game prediction:
The Jazz will seem to come out stronger since they are well-rested and have fresh legs. Also, the fact that they have a home court and crowd support will play a key role in their win in Game 1 against the Clippers.
