*10* SURE SHOT on Utah Jazz.

The Utah Jazz have struggled this month but they're coming into this clash with the Golden State Warriors with some momentum after a pair of victories against Denver and Phoenix. The Warriors have been off since they executed revenge on the Bucks Friday and might need a quarter or so to get back to business. I like the Jazz in this spot.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. The Jazz's Defense - Utah's defense ranks among the top five in the NBA with only 97 points allowed per game. It seems to be back to its best on the defensive end of the court after a rough period, holding both the Nuggets and the Suns to less than 90 points in its last two games.

2. Road Warriors - Utah is 5-8 straight up but 8-5 ATS on the road this season and Golden State is 3-7 ATS in its last 10 when hosting a team with a losing road record.

3. X-Factor - The Jazz held the Warriors close in a 106-103 home-loss less than a month ago, and they seem to match-up pretty well with this Golden State team.

Selection: This is a play on the Utah Jazz (10*)
