Reasoning
The Golden State Warriors enter Salt Lake City as clear favorites, averaging roughly 116.0 points per game this season behind Stephen Curry’s shot making and a perimeter heavy offense designed to stretch defenses. Over their last 10 games, Golden State has pushed that number closer to 120.0 PPG, using pace and spacing to create scoring runs. However, injuries and rotation changes have led to some inconsistency, particularly when shots aren’t falling early. Even in wins, the Warriors haven’t always separated comfortably — often allowing opponents to hang around into the second half rather than pulling away completely.
Utah, meanwhile, continues to endure a difficult season at 15-32, but their offensive output has remained respectable at 118.7 points per game, even while their defense ranks last in the league by allowing over 127 PPG. The Jazz still push tempo and aren’t shy about trading buckets, which helps them stay competitive offensively. Playing at home also matters for a young Utah roster that tends to score more efficiently in familiar surroundings. While defensive lapses remain an issue, Utah’s willingness to play fast and generate offense can shorten margins against superior teams. Given Golden State’s occasional offensive variance and Utah’s ability to score enough to avoid blowouts, the points provide value in this spot.
Warriors vs Jazz prediction: Utah +9.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable to +8.5.
