Golden State Warriors vs Utah Jazz prediction
You can make a case for the Utah Jazz because they're at home with both teams on the end of a back to back, and they're at their best at home, where they've won 17 games. However, the Warriors are simply the better team, no matter how you slice it, and they just beat the Jazz a couple of days ago. The Warriors have won 8 of their last 10 meetings against the Jazz overall. The Jazz are piling up the losses and they struggle defensively. Like the game earlier this week, give me the Warriors in this near pick em spot.
