Through 3 Quarters

The Utah Jazz are on the road but looking no worse for wear. They have emerged as the frontrunner after three quarters and are ahead of the Golden State Warriors 90-81.

The Jazz have been relying on shooting guard Donovan Mitchell, who has 26 points, and point guard Mike Conley, who has 21 points and seven assists. The top scorers for Golden State have been shooting guard Klay Thompson (24 points) and shooting guard Jordan Poole (24 points).

the Dubs have lost 76% of the time when they were down heading into the fourth quarter this year, so this one seems just about wrapped up

What to Know

The Utah Jazz will take on the Golden State Warriors at 8:30 p.m. ET Saturday at Chase Center. The Jazz will be strutting in after a win while Golden State will be stumbling in from a defeat.

Utah didn’t have too much trouble with the Los Angeles Lakers at home on Thursday as they won 122-109. Utah’s center Rudy Gobert did his thing and dropped a double-double on 25 points and 17 rebounds. That makes it four consecutive games in which Gobert has had at least 11 rebounds.

Meanwhile, it was a hard-fought game, but the Dubs had to settle for a 107-103 loss against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. One thing holding Golden State back was the mediocre play of shooting guard Klay Thompson, who did not have his best game: he finished with 13 points on 5-for-21 shooting in his 33 minutes on the court.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Utah is expected to win a tight contest. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past six games, so buyers beware.

The Jazz took their contest against the Warriors in the teams’ previous meeting in February by a conclusive 111-85 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for Utah since the team won’t have home-court advantage. We’ll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
