(NBA) Golden State vs. Utah,
Point Spread: 5.00 | -107.00 Utah (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* RED DRAGON on the Utah Jazz.

Utah is coming together at the right time. It's been very good defensively all season long, but it's latest offensive performance has it thinking it could steal this game vs. the defending champions outright. The Jazz would make a franchise-best 17 3-pointers in a 123-75 destruction of the Lakers on Monday. Keep your eyes on Rodney Hood, who was eight of nine from behind the arc. The Jazz have averaged 10.7 3-pointers and have shot 40.4 precent from behind the arc during an 8-2 stretch which has earned it seventh in the Western Conference. Utah also plays with revenge here after dropping all three previous meetings with the Warriors this season. Golden State continues to roll, it's coming off a 102-94 SU win and ATS loss vs. the Wizards just last night. Golden State's energy and focus is surely starting to waiver at this point of the season and the weight of expectations continues to grow as the playoffs approach. It's a perfect spot for the Jazz to take advantage of. All six of the Warriors' losses this year have come in similar types of situations. And with five of its final eight games at home, it's not too hard to imagine Golden State in some small way, looking ahead to that favorable season-ending schedule. Also note that Utah has been pretty effective in slowing down Steph Curry, holding him to an 18.0 scoring average and 39.1 field goal percentage for the series, his lowst mark vs. any team from the West. The Jazz have in fact been "lights-out" with their defensive play of late, giving up 88.2 points over their ten-game run, while just limiting the Lakers to just 30.6 percent shooting last time out. We think that UTAH comes to play tonight, grab as many points as you can.
