- The Clippers have won four of their last five home games against the Jazz, including a 29-point victory earlier this month (April 5). That was the third-largest win for LA in this series behind a 34-point victory in January 1986 and a 32-point decision in March 2007.
- The Clippers have five players averaging at least 10.0 points and 5.0 rebounds this season, most in the NBA and most by any Clippers’ team all-time (minimum 70% of team games). Each of the last three teams to have five such players reached the NBA Finals that year (2020-21 Bucks, 1991-92 Blazers, 1987-88 Lakers).
- Bones Hyland totaled a career-high 37 points in Wednesday’s loss to Phoenix, making it the highest output by a player from VCU all-time (based on last school attended). Hyland had put up just 38 points in his previous nine games combined.
- The Clippers are 12-3 (.800) when facing an opponent that is coming off zero days rest, third best in the NBA (Thunder – 10-1; Celtics, 17-2). Utah is 4-8 (.333) in the second game of a back-to-back this season.
