LAC vs UTA Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for LA Clippers vs Utah Jazz

LAC vs UTA Dream11: The ups-and-downs of the NBA are tricky to navigate at times. A team can go on a hot streak and then cool down considerably, thus making it difficult to judge at times, what rhythm a team will display during a particular game. However, that challenge has been continuous since the beginning of the league and it is all about rhythm in the end. And in this game, two out-of-rhythm teams will meet as the Los Angeles Clippers will meet the Utah Jazz.

The Clippers have lost their way as their main scorers have cooled down a lot and that has resulted in some sub-par offensive performances, at this rate, the team will enter in a poor rhythm during the Play-in tournament, in full danger of being knocked out by a team like the Timberwolves that will come with better confidence.

For the Utah Jazz, this second half of the month has been traumatic and they have lost four in a row. Much of the reason for the losses has been poor shooting performances, largely caused by the absence of wing Bojan Bogdanovic, but honestly, the Jazz’s season in the second half has been in contrast to the first half.

Roster complexion

The Clippers come into this game after a tough 97:122 loss versus the 76ers as their offense collapsed completely

The Clippers have been unable to do what they did earlier in the season, i.e. get out of a losing streak. They had to undergo a tough schedule and after a lax period where they beat some sub-par 50% teams, their rhythm has been done and dusted. Earlier, the team was able to stay up against high-octane teams like Mavericks, but lately, they have been exposed on both ends of the floor. Much of the reason for the earlier success was the form of Marcus Morris and Reggie Jackson, but both those players have been in a cold spell which has resulted in the team starting on a slow note. Mann, Covington, Coffey, and Hartenstein have done well in the bench role but even Ivica Zubac has fallen off a bit. The team can’t win unless Reggie Jackson or Marcus Morris start pumping some quality production.

Utah Jazz lost to the Dallas Mavericks 100:114 as their offense completely collapsed in the second half

Contrary to the first half of the season, when the Jazz was winning around 70% of their games, the second half of the season has been brutal on the squad. Losing Bojan Bogdanovic has completely exposed the Forward position while the inefficiency of Mike Conley has also hurt the scoring balance. Donovan Mitchell has had to carry extra weight but there is only so much a player can do. The Jazz has been turned off on the offensive end lately and their inability to field a strong opposition has made them lose the fourth spot to the Mavericks at the moment. With just a few games remaining in the season, the Jazz will need a strong effort or they will stare at the first round exit, mostly likely by the hand of the fourth-placed Mavericks or the third-placed Warriors.
