West: No. 5 Utah Jazz vs. No. 4 Los Angeles Clippers
Matchup to Watch: Rudy Gobert vs. DeAndre Jordan
Outlook: The Clippers were able to secure home court in the series. Our spotlight focuses on two defensive bigs who are cut from the same cloth. Rudy Gobert and DeAndre Jordan are old school big men who can rebound and block shots. It is going to be fun to watch them battle in the paint during the series. While it is hard to have faith in the Clippers, they are playing well to close the season. Look for them to just narrowly pull out the series, but the Jazz can give them a run for their money. Los Angeles showed during the regular season they were the better team winning three of four games against the Jazz. All three of their wins came by double digits. (Getty)
Prediction: Clippers in 6 games (Getty)
