Jazz vs Warriors Prediction

The Warriors are coming into this game as a 1 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Both of these teams have been struggling a little in their recent games but the Warriors should be able to pick up this win at home. The Jazz are missing one of their best players here, Donovan Mitchell, and they will be missing him in this game as the Warriors have been a very dangerous team this season. The best bet to place in this game is on the Warriors to cover the spread here and win this game straight up.
 
Jazz Warriors Prediction:  Our NBA Pick for Sunday, January 23, 2022 (8:30 pm ET start time) is Warriors 114 Jazz 108.

"It felt great. The way the whole last 48 hours have been with the way we played grinding out last night, going overtime, losing, the disappointment with that and then coming into this game, the back and forth, just grind-it-out mentality we had, the resilience we showed to give ourselves a chance the second half was impressive.” - Steph Curry on hitting the game-winning buzzer beater shot in their win against the Rockets on Friday night.
