Golden State Warriors at Utah Jazz odds, picks and predictions

Kevin Erickson | Staff Writer

The Golden State Warriors (26-26) meet the Utah Jazz (26-29) Thursday at Delta Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET. Let's analyze FanDuel Sportsbook's lines around the Warriors vs. Jazz odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Warriors lead 1-0 after a 129-107 win in Salt Lake City Monday, cashing as 1-point favorites as the Under (240.5) connected.

This is a makeup game from Jan. 17 when the contest was postponed due to the unfortunate death of assistant coach Dejan Milojevic in Salt Lake City due to a heart attack.

The Warriors were on the short end of a 130-125 home loss as 3.5-point favorites against the LA Clippers Wednesday -- the Over (238.5) cashed. That loss, non-cover and Over halted a 5-0 against-the-spread (ATS) run and 5-0 Under streak for the Clippers.

The Jazz suffered a 138-122 loss at home as 5-point underdogs Wednesday, as Utah lost and failed to cover for the 3rd consecutive outing. Utah is also just 2-6 SU and ATS across the previous 8 contests.

Warriors at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 125, Jazz 117

Moneyline

The WARRIORS (-126) are a solid play on the road in this makeup game.

While Golden State suffered a loss against the LA Clippers at home Wednesday, the Warriors are still 5-1 straight up (SU) and ATS across the past 6 games, while going 8-2 ATS across the past 10 road outings.

On the flip side, the Jazz (+108) have lost and failed to cover the past 3 outings, while going just 2-6 SU/ATS across the previous 8 contests.

Utah has won 4 of the past 5 games SU when playing on no rest, so go lightly.

Against the spread

The WARRIORS -2 (-110) simply have to win by a bucket to push, and there is slightly less risk than taking Golden State on the moneyline.

The Jazz are an impressive 5-1 ATS in the past 6 games when playing on no rest, so there is some risk. However, Golden State has covered 5 straight in the series, while going 8-1-1 ATS in the past 10 head-to-head meetings, so bet the visitors with confidence.

Over/Under

OVER 239.5 (-110) is a good play in this makeup outing, but go lightly.

The Over cashed in Friday's game against the Clips, but the Under was 5-0 in the past 5 outings, and the total has gone low in 7 of the past 9 games overall for Golden State.

However, Utah has allowed 129 or more points in each of the past 3 contests, while the Over has hit in 3 of the past 4 games, and 9 of the past 13 outings. At home, the Over has connected in 4 of the past 6 for the Jazz.
