Utah Jazz (52-28) at Golden State Warriors (25-55) 4/13, 10:30PM
The Warriors are 30 games under .500, but are playing in an important game with two games left in the season. Well, not important to them, but to the Jazz. Golden State could play the role of spoiler, while the Jazz look for a division title and a better seed in the playoffs.
Golden State hasn’t had much to play for all season. They are tied for last in their division. This has clearly been a rebuilding year, and they may have some signs of hope for the future. Their top pick from last year, Stephen Curry, is averaging 17.2 points, 5.9 assists, and 1.9 steals per game. His last five games have been even better, averaging 27.4 points and nearly notched a quadruple double against Minnesota last week. Monta Ellis has been a solid force all year long as well, scoring 25.5 points per game.
Utah could end up the two-seed or the five-seed, depending on how the rest of their season goes. It speaks to just how competitive and up in the air the West is. Utah will play Golden State and then close the season out in Phoenix. The Suns are currently tied with the Jazz and the Nuggets for the third seed in the playoffs, Dallas is just one game ahead of all three teams. A lot of things could still change. Carlos Boozer leads the way for the Jazz with 19.7 points and 11.3 rebounds per game and Deron Williams dishes out 10.6 assists per game. Utah has won seven of its last ten games, and will need to win out if they plan to get a higher seed and get at least home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
Utah has beaten Golden State in both match-ups so far this season.
Utah is favored by 8 points. The total is listed at 231.
