Late Night NBA Basketball Pick
Utah Jazz at Golden State Warriors
Tipoff: 10:00 pm EST Sun Jan 30, 2011
Golden State is favored by four (-4) in this west coast matchup tonight at 10:00 EST (7:00 Pacific). The over/under is 213. The biggest factor that stands out in this game is how banged up Utah is. They have been without Guard Deron Williams who averages almost 22 points a game,and it shows. They have just snapped their longest losing streak of more than three years. Williams will be a “game time decision” tonight. He has a sore wrist.

Golden State has on of the more potent offenses in the league averaging over 103 points per game. But, they also allow over 107! The Warriors lack in the defensive area of their game obviously. Overall records are important. Utah is 28-19 and Golden State is 19-27. But Golden State does play well at home 13-10. They are awful on the road. In our humble opinion, the obvious play here is Utah. Especially if we see Williams play. We like Utah getting points.

The stats may say otherwise. But we do like Utah +4
