Warriors at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 116, Jazz 115

Moneyline

The WARRIORS (+135) should bounce back after getting outscored 62-51 in the 2nd half against the Grizzlies, who were without G Ja Morant. Green is in his 12th season of playing with G Stephen Curry and G Klay Thompson and shouldn't need more than 1 game to regain chemistry with the team.

The Jazz are being overvalued after 6 straight wins and covers and should start to regress toward the mean. Utah is 21st in 3-point percentage on the season at 35.6% but has shot 41.9% over its last 3 games, good for 6th in the league. Don't expect Utah's hot shooting to continue, especially against this Warriors team off an embarrassing loss as a 7.5-point favorite.

BET WARRIORS (+135).

Against the spread

The Warriors should cover, but I prefer taking them at plus-money on the ML.

PASS. Bet the Warriors straight up and/or the total instead.

Over/Under

While the Warriors were embarrassed last time out, holding the Grizzlies to 116 points in Green's return isn't a horrible outing defensively. Look for the Warriors to up the intensity on defense against the Jazz as Green begins to make more of an impact.

The Jazz have scored 120 points or more in 8 of their last 9 games. This recent hot streak is more likely a flash in the pan than a preview of what's to come for the Jazz. Utah's offense should come back down to earth.

BET UNDER 242.5 (-115).
