Utah Jazz vs Golden State Warriors odds, starters, injury reports, predictions
To say that the Utah Jazz will be tested tonight feels like an understatement. It might be more accurate to say that they’ll be thoroughly examined. Any opponent is a challenge on the tail end of a back to back. The Golden State Warriors aren’t just any opponent.
By win percentage, the Warriors (27-7) are the best team in the National Basketball Association. By net rating, that distinction belongs to none other than the Jazz (26-9). The Jazzmen’s 10.58 mark in that category narrowly edges out the Warriors’ 10.07 for the top spot in the league.
This one is a clash of titans. The Warriors have the benefit of rest, so the Jazz will have to find an extra level of focus to come out victorious tonight.

Utah Jazz vs Golden State Warriors Prediction
This game represents a milestone for the J-Notes. For the first time, we’re predicting against the WynnBet odds.
The Jazz are on the wrong end of a back-to-back. The Golden State Warriors are one of the very best teams in the National Basketball Association. Granted, the Warriors will be without Draymond Green. He’s a key cog in their well-oiled machine.
Nonetheless, Steph Curry will be active, and Juan Tuscano-Anderson provides a facsimile of what Green brings to the table. With these two elite squads being fairly evenly matched, we’re gambling on Golden State’s rest advantage to be the deciding factor in this contest.
With that said, this one could go either way. There may not be any safe money in tonight’s contest.
Prediction: Warriors 118, Jazz 112
