Utah at Golden State

One of the things that turned the season around for Golden St. was Stephen Jackson. Jackson will be sitting out the first seven games with a suspension, and with it his 17 points per game (PPG). Monta Ellis, may also miss this game or be less than 100%, so his 17ppg may be missing as well. Utah has been one of the top teams playing UNDER in the first half, under Coach Sloan. It is apparent he realizes that winning on the road in the NBA requires a defensive effort. We have a system that produces 69% winners covering 363 games played that is alive for this game. These teams have also played lots of unders in the first half when matched together. Over their last 22 meetings they have played UNDER the first half total 64% of the time. Sometimes good offensive teams take time to get it going. Golden St. managed just 46 points in their home opener in the first half last year, and followed it up with 48 points in game two. We will ride the trends, the history of these teams, and our system to play the first half under.
