Warriors at Jazz picks and predictions
Prediction
Jazz 115, Warriors 109
Moneyline
With the Jazz (-320) being heavy favorites, just AVOID the moneyline. Taking Utah to win straight up isn’t advised considering the current odds for the Jazz to defeat the Warriors.
Against the spread
WARRIORS +7.5 (-105) is where I’m leaning despite Curry, Green, and Wiggins being inactive. The Warriors still have capable scorers in G Jordan Poole and G Klay Thompson that can keep this game closer than some expect.
The Warriors are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS loss and are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 meetings with the Jazz in Utah.
Over/Under
Even though most of the trends point toward the Over being the ideal choice in this game UNDER 234.5 (-110) is where I’m leaning. This number feels a bit high with the Warriors being down 3 of their 5 starters.
The Warriors have hit the Under in 6 of their last 7 games following an ATS loss.
