Golden State Warriors Betting Preview

The Golden State Warriors have been in decent shape as they’ve won four of their past six games overall and they will be eager to keep it going after sneaking past the shorthanded Magic in a 104-99 home win on Monday. Andrew Wiggins led the team with 25 points, Stephen Curry added 24 points with five assists while Moses Moody chipped in with 17 points off the bench. As a team, the Warriors shot 43 percent from the field and 12 of 39 from the 3-point line as they held the Magic to just 17 points in the second quarter to overcome an early 11-point deficit, before they exploded for 39 points in the third quarter to take a 15-point lead and come away with the solid win at home.

Utah Jazz Betting Preview

Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz have been in a major slump as they’ve lost 12 of their last 14 games overall and they will be hoping for a better result after coming up painfully short to the Pacers in a 112-111 loss on Monday. John Collins and Jordan Clarkson led the team in scoring with 21 points each while Lauri Markkanen and Keyonte George each scored 16 points. As a team, the Jazz shot 42 percent from the field and 13 of 37 from the 3-point line as they got off to a quick start and led by 12 points in the fourth quarter, only to get outscored by 23-10 in the final 5:53 to allow the Pacers to snatch the game away at the death. The Jazz will meet the Suns after this game.

Why the Utah Jazz will win

  • The Warriors have lost three of their last five games as favorites following a win.
  • The home team has won 12 of the last 16 games between the Warriors and Jazz.
  • The Warriors have failed to cover the spread in seven of their last eight games as favorites following a win.
  • The underdogs have covered the spread in six of the Jazz’s last eight games at Delta Center.

Why the Golden State Warriors will win

  • The Jazz have lost each of their last 16 games against Western Conference opponents that held a winning record.
  • The Warriors have won each of their last 12 games against Northwest Division opponents that held a losing record.
  • The Warriors have covered the spread in each of their last six road games against Northwest Division opponents.
  • The Jazz have failed to cover the spread in nine of their last 10 home games against Western Conference opponents that held a winning record.

Total Points Facts

  • Eight of the Jazz’s last nine home games following a home loss have gone UNDER the total points line.
  • Seven of the Warriors’ last eight games against Western Conference opponents have gone OVER the total points line.

Jazz vs Warriors Prediction

The Warriors are still keeping an eye on Moses Moody who is questionable for this one but they are expecting to have Draymond Green back in the lineup, while the Jazz have ruled out Collin Sexton and they have Lauri Markkanen listed as questionable for this one. The Warriors have been well below their best lately, but Green does so much for the Warriors on both ends of the floor and I think he can make an immediate impact in his return. The Jazz were more than competitive in their narrow loss to the Pacers on Monday, but they are now also missing Sexton who has been a bright spot for them during this slide. The Warriors open as clear favorites and I think they can take care of business and escape with the win and cover on the road.
