Take #518 Jazz Over Warriors
(NBA) Golden State vs. Utah,
Point Spread: -4.00 | -110.00 Utah (Home)
Result: Push
The Jazz have been playing well recently, they've won 9 of their last 10 games, only losing to the Celtics in that stretch which there's no shame in - First meeting this year between the two squads - Utah is 22-20 which is remarkable because they must have had a terrible record before this run started right? I mean they've won 9 of 10 and are barely over .500 basketball now, but sometimes that's how basketball works ya know, peaks and valleys - also remember too the Jazz are 26-16 ATS this year so they've been covering numbers - And are we still buying into the Warriors right now? I have a close friend in the industry that knows some people in GS and he's hearing (and I'm not reporting this, it's just rumors), but he thinks they're gonna blow the whole thing up and start over and do a rebuild under Steph. Just pay off Draymond and cut him, get rid of Klay, he's past his prime, get rid of all the baggage (possibly even Steve Kerr), and get Steph a new squad to try to go chase a 5th ring because he ain't getting a 5th ring with this squad, not gonna happen. So long story short, I'm on Utah here. These are two teams headed in opposite directions, and if you're Utah, don't you want to inflict as much pain on GS as possible after all the years they beat up on you? So the Jazz will be up for this game, GS comes in off that collapse vs the Ja-less Grizzlies who beat them outright last night as a significant dog, Utah is also fully healthy as well, and I'll roll with Utah here as they are coming together at the right time and I think they'll have plenty of motivation to cover this spread, which is what I see at a couple shops right now, So let's roll with the Jazz tomorrow night.
