Clippers and Jazz Set for Game 6 Batle
The Los Angeles Clippers take on the Utah Jazz at Vivint Smart Home Arena in Game 5 of their Eastern Conference series on Wednesday night. The series is tied 2-2 .

The Clippers (2-2) impressively met the tall task of beating their conference's No. 1 seed by double digits in consecutive games with their Game 4 victory, one in which they jumped out to a 24-point halftime lead on their way to a 118-104 triumph. Kawhi Leonard and Paul George co-led the Clippers with matching 31-point, four-assist contributions while pulling down seven and nine rebounds, respectively. Marcus Morris supplied 24 points, six rebounds, one assist and one steal.

The Clippers will come into Wednesday's game without any short-term injuries to report.

The Jazz (2-2) were unable to generate much team offense for the second consecutive contest, which is worrisome despite the series now shifting back to their home floor. In the lopsided Game 4 defeat, Donovan Mitchell led the Jazz with 37 points, adding five rebounds, five assists and one steal. Joe Ingles furnished 19 points, three boards, three assists and one steal. Bojan Bogdanovic delivered 18 points, five assists, three rebounds and two steals. Rudy Gobert totaled 11 points, eight rebounds and one block. Royce O'Neale and Jordan Clarkson mustered matching eight-point tallies while recording eight and five rebounds, respectively.

The Jazz will list Mike Conley (hamstring) as questionable for Wednesday's contest.

Wednesday's game marks the eighth meeting between the teams since the start of the regular season. Utah has won four of seven games from Los Angeles when factoring in this current series.
