Stephen Nover Free Tuesday NBA Play
(NBA) Golden State vs. Utah, 01/13/2015 4:00 PM, Score: 116 - 105
Point Spread: -7.00 | -110.00 Golden State (Away)
Result: Win
The Warriors have been idle since Saturday after going 6-0 on their homestand, winning by an average of 22 points a game.




Golden State has been golden all season. The Warriors are the most complete and best team in basketball right now. Not only do they have the highest winning percentage in the NBA, but also the best point spread mark of any Western Conference team. They also match up well to the Jazz, who they defeated 101-88 at home on Nov. 21.




Utah has picked up its game winning seven of its last 12, but the Jazz have been better on the road than at home where they are 7-10 ATS. This is the Jazz's first game back from a three-game road trip so they might not have their full focus.




Sparked by their backcourt of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, the Warriors are leading the league in scoring at 109.2 points a game. Golden State averaged 118 points per game during its just concluded homestand. The Jazz rank 24th in defensive field goal percentage and 26th in defending against the 3-pointer. So Curry and Thompson should be in line for another big performance. The Warriors also have center Andrew Bogut back from a knee injury to provide an inside option.




The Jazz need to limit their turnovers and have their perimeter game working to stand a chance. Golden State, however, ranks No. 1 in defensive field goal percentage holding foes to less than 42 percent from the floor.




Utah also hasn't been taking care of the ball committing a combined 51 turnovers in back-to-back losses to the Thunder and Rockets during its last two games. Those are two physical defenses just like Golden State. They are the type of defenses the Jazz struggle the most against.




The Warriors forced 20 turnovers when they defeated the Jazz by 13 points back in November.

(Editor's note: In addition to this free selection, long-time pro Stephen Nover has his first NBA 100-Dime play of the season going today. Don't miss it as Stephen has cashed better than 70 percent of his lifetime 100-Dimers, which is his signature and strongest play.)
