Golden State Warriors Betting Preview
The Golden State Warriors have been in a real funk lately, as they’ve lost six of their last nine games overall and they will be looking to bounce back after coming up just short to the Thunder in a 104-97 road defeat on Saturday. Gui Santos led the team with 22 points and 11 rebounds, Brandin Podziemski added 17 points with six assists, and Draymond Green chipped in with 16 points and five assists. As a team, the Warriors shot 41 percent from the field and 14 of 45 from the 3-point line as they struggled to match the Thunder and allowed 67 points in the first half to fall behind by 14 points, which was a shame because the Warriors rallied to cut the deficit to just two points with 2:02 left in the fourth quarter before they went scoreless to let the Thunder off the hook.
Utah Jazz Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz have been in a major slump, as they’ve lost eight of their last nine games overall and they will be hoping for a better outcome after getting routed by the Bucks in a 113-99 road defeat on Saturday. Keyonte George led the team with 22 points, Brice Sensabaugh added 17 points in just 19 minutes off the bench, and Kyle Filipowski tallied 14 points with 11 rebounds and six assists. As a team, the Jazz shot just 34 percent from the field and 12 of 49 from the 3-point line as they got off to a sluggish start and scored just 13 points in the first quarter to fall behind by 15 points, which proved to be crucial in the end as they worked hard to cut the deficit to just two points with 4:55 left in the fourth quarter before the Bucks closed the game on a 16-4 run to slam the door shut on the Jazz.

Jazz vs Warriors Prediction
The Warriors are still playing without Stephen Curry, Seth Curry, Jimmy Butler III, Al Horford, and Kristaps Porzingis, while the Jazz have ruled out Lauri Markkanen, Vince Williams Jr., Jusuf Nurkic, and Jaren Jackson Jr. These teams have already met three times this season, with the Warriors comfortably winning each game and given the recent form slump of the Jazz, I can’t picture anything but another win for the Warriors despite all the injuries they are currently dealing with. The Jazz are still capable of pulling off the occasional upset win at home, but the Warriors were more than competitive in a narrow loss to the Thunder in their last outing and I think they can get the win here if they come out with the same attitude.
