The Utah Jazz invade the Chase Center to do battle with the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night. Here’s a Warriors vs Jazz Prediction. This article will include a Warriors vs Jazz Pick.
Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz have been in terrible form as they’ve lost 14 of their last 17 games overall and they will be hoping to arrest a six-game slide after getting beaten by the Bucks in a 125-110 loss last night. Lauri Markkanen led the team with 19 points and nine rebounds, Collin Sexton added 19 points with four assists, Brice Sensabaugh scored 17 points, while Keyonte George chipped in with 15 points off the bench. As a team, the Jazz shot 41 percent from the field and 18 of 54 from the 3-point line as they fell behind right away after allowing 35 points in the first quarter before they got blown out in the third quarter to trail by as many as 24 points.
Golden State Warriors
Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors have been in a slump of their own as they’ve lost seven of their last 11 games and they will be hoping to bounce back after getting beaten by the Lakers in a 118-108 home defeat on Saturday. Andrew Wiggins led the team in scoring with 20 points on nine of 15 shooting, Brandin Podziemski added 17 points and five assists off the bench while Stephen Curry chipped in with 13 points and nine assists on four of 17 shooting. As a team, the Warriors shot 46 percent from the field and 16 of 46 from the 3-point line which was good enough to hang with the Lakers until the fourth quarter as Curry just could never find his rhythm.

Warriors vs Jazz Prediction
The Jazz are still missing Walker Kessler and John Collins, while the Warriors are still playing without Draymond Green. The Jazz have been one of the coldest teams in the league all season but they would’ve taken some confidence from last night’s loss to the Bucks as they just never gave up despite falling behind by double digits right away. Meanwhile, the Warriors are still struggling to win games despite getting some players back healthy, but they still open as clear favorites, especially with the Jazz playing their second game of a back-to-back set. I might be tempted to take the Jazz with the points, but the Warriors are in desperate need of a win and I think they can get the job done if they can get big games from Wiggins and Curry who are both overdue.
