Clippers vs Jazz NBA Preview
This is basically a bet against Keyonte George's projected amount of minutes in this game.
George has legitimate competition at point guard, with Isaiah Collier and rookie Walter Clayton Jr. battling for minutes behind him in the Jazz' backcourt.
Collier missed the preseason with a hamstring injury, but there's a chance he suits up for this one.
His injury will likely allow George to start, but the minutes are far from secure.
Clayton excelled in the preseason and profiles as more of a traditional point guard compared to George.
George played less than 30 minutes in 19 games last season. He averaged 14.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 4.5 assists.
Lauri Markkanen is healthy, and Ace Bailey is now in the mix for the Jazz.
So, there's more competition for usage heading into this season.
The Clippers ranked third in defensive rating, fourth in rebounding rate, and 10th in assists allowed last season.
Los Angeles should be a strong defensive unit once again this year.
