The Utah Jazz and Golden State Warriors meet Sunday in NBA action at the Chase Center. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Jazz vs Warriors prediction.
Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz look to have moved on from their ugly 13-game losing streak as they are now aiming for a third straight victory after outlasting the Clippers in a 110-109 road win on Friday. Kenneth Lofton Jr led the team with 27 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, Keyonte George added 14 points while Darius Bazley and Talen Horton-Tucker each scored 12 points. As a team, the Jazz shot 46 percent from the field and six of 35 from the 3-point line as they worked hard to erase an early 13-point deficit, before they went on a pivotal 6-0 run late in the fourth quarter to escape with the unlikely road win in the end.
Golden State Warriors
Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors have been in fine form as they’ve won nine of their last 11 games overall and they will be hoping to bounce back after getting beaten by the Pelicans in a 114-109 loss on Friday. Stephen Curry led the team with 33 points and five assists, Klay Thompson added 19 points while Andrew Wiggins chipped in with 18 points. As a team, the Warriors shot 46 percent from the field and 13 of 34 from the 3-point line as they got off to a quick start to take an early 11-point lead, only to get completely blown out by 45-22 in the second quarter to trail by as many as 16 points in this one.
Golden State Warriors Team Facts

- Seven of the Warriors’ last eight games against the Jazz following a home loss have gone OVER the total points line.
Utah Jazz Team Facts
- The Jazz have lost 24 of their last 25 road games against Western Conference opponents that held a winning record.
- The Jazz have covered the spread in seven of their last eight day games.

Jazz vs Warriors prediction
The Jazz are still missing a bunch of players including Kris Dunn, Jordan Clarkson and Lauri Markkanen, while the Warriors are keeping eyes on Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Jonathan Kuminga, Klay Thompson and Chris Paul who are all questionable. The Warriors are clearly the team in better form coming into this meeting, but they could be missing their entire starting lineup for this one. This could be a good spot for the Jazz to be a nuisance and keep this one close to the end. The Warriors should win, but I think the Jazz just hang around and get the cover here.
