Golden State at Utah

So far the Sloan-less era in Utah hasn't been kind (no wins). If they lose this game, the Jazz will have lost five straight home games for the first time in 30 years! This team seems to be in the middle of an ugly hangover which can come after a 27-year coach just ups and quits. In their last five games, the Jazz have gone 1-4, losing on average 103-96. This is a bad matchup for Utah as they are just 6-16 ATS this season vs. good shooting teams like Golden State (those hitting 46%+ from the field). Utah is also 4-11 ATS in their last fifteen games after allowing an opponent to break 100 points. They are 1-11 ATS in their last 12 games following an ATS win. The Warriors have covered four of their last five games vs. winning teams and I like them to at least keep this one close.
