Golden State Warriors vs Utah Jazz Prediction
I understand the Warriors have beat up on bad teams lately, they’ve won 8 of the last 9 games against the Jazz, and they have the rest edge. The Jazz played last night, which isn’t ideal in a spot like this. However, the Warriors are a banged up aging team that I’m not excited to lay in the big favorite role. The Warriors are also 9-15 SU on the road this season. The Jazz have outright won twice this month as a double-digit underdog. I’ll take my chances with the boatload of points.
