After a prolonged struggle, the Utah Jazz have registered 3 wins in a row. If they can make it 4 against the Golden State Warriors tonight, they’ll officially be back on track. 

It won’t be easy. The Jazz (33-21) will once again go to battle without Rudy Gobert. On the other hand, the Warriors (41-13) will also be without their defensive anchor, as Draymond Green is recovering from a back injury. With that said, they’ve managed just fine without him, having notched 9 victories in a row.

With any luck, the Jazz will stop that total from reaching double digits.

Utah Jazz vs Golden State Warriors Prediction

Sorry, Jazzmen. While this recent 3 game winning streak has been encouraging, it hasn’t been enough for you to earn a predicted win over the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors may be the best team in the National Basketball Association. The Jazz still retain the NBA’s best Offensive Rating at 117.01, but the Warriors pace the league in Net Rating at 8.52. Their Defensive Rating of 104.48 is the best in the league.

The last time these teams met, it was a defensive battle. The Warriors edged the Jazz 94-92 in that one. With Gobert on the sidelines, that’s not the type of game the Jazz want to play tonight

If Utah can get their offense flowing, they’ve absolutely got a good chance of victory in this one. Fans should expect a narrow margin, but we’re betting on the Warriors to walk away with their 10th consecutive win.

Prediction: Warriors 108, Jazz 103
