Jazz
The team is struggling in the West despite boasting a terrific 17-7 record at home. However, only nine wins in 29 away games is the reason they are 11th on the table.

He is averaging 23.7 points per game, the highest on the roster. Moreover, the power forward is the rebound leader for his team, averaging 8.5.

With more than 30 games remaining in the regular season, their playoff hopes are alive. Superstar Stephen Curry leads the team in scoring charts, averaging 28.1 ppg. Behind him at No.2 is Klay Thompson, who is under a resurgence after getting benched last week for the first time in his career. He is averaging 16.9 ppg and needs to support Curry and Co. in the upcoming games.

Final Prediction
The two teams have faced each other three times this season and the Warriors have a 2-1 edge over the Jazz. This is the perfect opportunity for the home team to tie the series and give their fans something to cheer about. However, based on the current form, defeating Golden State is a heavy task. To stay on the safe side, the Jazz covering the spread seems comfortable. But be ready for a great shooting night at the Delta Center.
Jazz +1 (-110)
