BETTING TRENDS

Utah are 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 games against Golden State.

Utah are 2-6 SU in their last 8 games against Golden State.

Utah are 1-7 SU in their last 8 games on the road.

Utah are 0-5 SU in their last 5 games when playing on the road against Golden State.

The total has gone OVER in 6 of Golden State's last 8 games.

The total has gone OVER in 10 of Golden State's last 13 games against Utah.

The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Golden State's last 5 games at home.

 

Prediction

The Jazz have been up and down this season but they get to this game full healthy and ranking #4 in offense in the NBA scoring 117 points per game but they're 1-7 in their last 8 games on the road. The Warriors have one of the best records at home so far but they are without Curry, Thompson and Wiggings among other players so I don't think they'll be able to keep up with the Jazz offense on this game. Take Utah.

PICK: Jazz -4.5 (-110)
