The current betting odds have the Jazz listed as a 1 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Jazz haven't looked great in their games this season with their 26-28 record overall which has them near the bottom of the West and outside of a play-in spot for the playoffs. They have looked really good on their home court this year though, going 17-8 in their home games. Meanwhile, the Warriors haven't looked great in their games this season either with their 26-25 record overall which has them near the bottom of the West, right in the last play-in spot for the playoffs. The Warriors haven't looked great in their road games either with their 12-12 road record. The Warriors have been really hot lately and do have a lot of momentum on their side here with 5 wins in a row now and a win against the Jazz just the other night, but they are also in a bad situation here. The Warriors are playing this game on a back-to-back with a tough game on the road against the Clippers which they just traveled to LA from Utah and then have to go right back after for this game. The Jazz are also playing this game on a back-to-back with a game against the Lakers the night before, but they are in a much better situation here with all 3 of those games being played at home for them. The Jazz just lost badly at home to the Warriors but they will be looking to bounce back with revenge here and are in the better situation. The best way to place a bet here is on the Jazz to cover the spread in this game.

“We knew this trip was going to be tough all the way around, just the emotions coming back to a place where it happened, but it was definitely weird without Steve. It helped us to acknowledge and celebrate what they were doing and where they were at, and where they should have been. And then our ability to go out and allow the game to honor (Milojevic) was good.” - Steph Curry after their win against the Jazz in their game on Monday.

“We obviously have a lot of work to do in terms of cleaning up some of the guys’ roles and trying to help them understand how they can help each other. Our first group was the one that ultimately didn’t play great tonight.” - Will Hardy after his team’s loss against the Warriors in their game on Monday.
