Tonight's Action

Clippers at Jazz

Watch: 10 p.m. ET, TNT

Odds: Jazz -3 (-110) || O/U 221

Pick: Game 1 of the Western Conference semis tips off from Salt Lake. Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are coming in hot, but likely worn out, after surviving seven games with Dallas. Utah is rested and was the best three-point shooting team in the regular season.

Sports Section likes the Jazz to roll and loves the under.

Shoutout: Yesterday, we asked subscribers to predict the winner, score, and first goal scorer of Canadiens-Jets. No one correctly picked Erik Gustaffson to get on the board first, but shoutout to subscriber Allan Wrigglesworth (@wriggs51), who nailed the Canadiens 3-2. Nice work, Allan!
