Utah Has Cooled Off Since Hot Start

Malik Beasley had a big game off the bench Wednesday night, going 8-for-15 from three-point range and leading the team with 29 points and 11 rebounds. His effort wasn’t enough to help the Jazz avoid another loss, though, as the lowly Detroit Pistons came away with a 125-116 win in Utah. The Jazz are now 2-5 SU and ATS over their last seven games since kicking off the season with a 10-3 SU and ATS run.

Utah has been doomed by poor defense during this recent slump, allowing 122 points per game over the team’s last five outings. The Jazz rank fourth in the NBA in scoring with 117.4 points per game, but that success on offense will only lead to victories if the team gets back to playing at least passable defense.

Golden State Has The NBA’s Most Pronounced Home/Road Split

The Warriors picked up another win at home Wednesday night and covered the spread as 10-point favorites in a comfortable 124-107 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. Andrew Wiggins scored a season-high 31 points to lead the team while Stephen Curry chipped in 22 points. Golden State improved to 8-1 SU and 6-3 ATS at home with the victory.

That home record is in sharp contrast to the Warriors’ 1-9 SU and ATS mark on the road. Golden State has a pair of tough road games ahead to close out the month, visiting the Minnesota Timberwolves and Dallas Mavericks, but on Friday the team can continue to enjoy its home-court advantage against Utah.

Jazz: Keys to Win

Golden State ranks in the bottom five defensively this season, allowing 117.6 points per game. To cover the spread or to score an outright upset as a Jazz vs Warriors prediction, Utah will need to lean on its offense to outscore the Warriors on the road.

Warriors: Keys to Win

While the Warriors have allowed 125 points per game in their last four road games, they’ve given up an average of only 101 points in their last four at home. It’s hard to imagine why Golden State is playing so much worse on the road, but if this trend of solid defense at home continues Friday, Golden State will likely get the job done as a Jazz vs Warriors pick.
