The Utah Jazz will face the Los Angeles Clippers tonight in Los Angeles at the Staples Arena. The game will be free live streamed at 10:30 PM ET on the Fox Sports West 2 network.
The Clippers (20-11) are coming off a 116-112 overtime loss at Portland on Thursday despite committing a season-low six turnovers to the Trail Blazers' 17.
One of their biggest disadvantages came on the glass where they were outrebounded 60-48.
"They didn't actually get them (rebounds) when we went small, which is amazing," coach Doc Rivers said. "We were helping a lot. When you have to help, it does create somebody with a body off of them and I thought they took advantage of that."
However, it was also the fifth straight game in which Los Angeles was outrebounded after losing out 49-38 in Wednesday's 105-103 loss at Golden State. Rivers' team is being outrebounded by an average of minus-8.4 over the last five contests, far worse than its minus-1.5 margin on the season.
Friday's loss also came despite big performances from Blake Griffin, who had 35 points and 11 rebounds, and Chris Paul, who added 34 points and 16 assists. Griffin was playing a night after a controversial ejection for two technical fouls against the Warriors, which the NBA described Thursday as a mistake by the officials.
"It'd be different if we lost both games by 15 or 20 points, but to lose two emotional games like that is tough," Jamal Crawford told the team's website. "I think, honestly, those are tougher to digest than losing by 20."
The Clippers have been much better at home however, going 12-2 and averaging 111.9 points compared to 99.7 per game on the road.
The Jazz (9-23) come in feeling good about themselves after a dramatic 105-103 home win over the Lakers on Friday. Derrick Favors had a putback dunk with 2.1 seconds left on Gordon Hayward's missed shot, converting what he said was the first game-winning shot of his career at any level.
"The two big guys for the Lakers went over and altered his shot a little bit," said Favors, who had 18 points and 14 rebounds. "It went off the rim and I was just there for the offensive rebound."
Utah has struggled against the Clippers, losing six straight after winning 11 of the previous 12. Los Angeles is averaging 107.8 points on 49.9 percent shooting during its six-game winning streak, and Paul is averaging 22.2 points during that stretch.
