Golden State Warriors vs. Utah Jazz Preview

[dfads params=’groups=63742&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

This season the Jazz are 8-14 at home and the Warriors are 15-5 on the road.

In their last games the Warriors lost to the Chicago Bulls 113-11 in OT and the Jazz lost to the L.A. Clippers 94-89.

The Warriors just had their 19-game home winning streak snapped in their last game, but they head into Utah as a 10-point road favorite. The Warriors have already beaten the Jazz twice this season and won 116-105 a few weeks back in Utah.

[dfads params=’groups=63727&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

The Warriors are riding a 5-game winning streak over the Jazz.

The Warriors are the highest scoring team in the league led by their 2 All Star guards in Stephen Curry and Klay Thomson. The Jazz have a solid defense ranking 10th in the league in opponents’ points allowed and they will have to try to keep these guys from having big scoring games. Thomson has been hot as of late averaging 37.7 ppg over his last 3 games.

The Jazz need to play good D to win, as they only rank 24th in the league in points per game. Leading scorer Gordon Hayward is coming off a sub par game, but is stil averaging 19 ppg on the season. When he scores at least 20 points the Jazz are 11-10 this season.

The warriors rank 15th in the league in opponents’ points allowed and they are much better on D when C Andrew Bogut is on the court. He sat out the loss to the Bulls, but is expected to play tonight.

The Utah G combo of Alec Burks and Trey Burke are each averaging over 12 ppg and they and Hayward have to shoot the rock from outside tonight to open up the lane for the big man duo of Derrick Favors (15.6 ppg) and Enes Kanter (14.2 ppg).
