Golden State Warriors Betting Preview: Golden State Gets Comeback Victory Over Rockets
Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors have been in a funk, losing four of their last seven games, but they’ll be aiming to stay hot following a 105-103 home win against the Rockets on Friday. Stephen Curry led the team with 22 points and 12 assists, followed by Jordan Poole (20 points) and Andrew Wiggins (17 points).
The Warriors struggled to get going and trailed by 11 points at halftime, shooting 48 percent from the field and 10 of 30 from 3-point range. However, they came alive in the third quarter, outscoring the Rockets 33-22 to battle back and win by a slim margin.
Curry, while still outstanding, has gone into a shooting slump, shooting 39.7% from the field and 34% from three-point range in his last 16 games, while also averaging just 5.6 assists to 3.6 turnovers per game.
Betting Odds and Lines
Warriors are coming into the match as a -1.00 home favorite. The point total is set at 221.5 points.
In their last five games, the Jazz have gone 1-4 SU and ATS. In their previous five games, the Warriors are 2-2 SU and ATS.
Free Betting Pick
Both of these teams have had some recent struggles, but the Warriors should be able to pick up this victory at home.
The Jazz are without Donovan Mitchell, one of their finest players, and he will be missed in this game, as the Warriors have been a very dangerous team this season.
The Warriors should have the advantage in this one playing at home, and I expect them to take care of the Jazz easily. Bet on Warriors to cover!
Betting Pick: Warriors -1
