The Golden State Warriors (13-12) are coming into tonight off the back of a loss to the Indiana Pacers earlier this week. Their opponents tonight, the Utah Jazz (14-12), are also coming off a loss ahead of tonight having most recently fallen to the Portland Trail Blazers.
These two Western Conference teams have already faced off once this season. There, the Warriors came out on top 129-118. They'll no doubt be looking to repeat their success and get back to winning ways in front of the Jazz's home crowd tonight.

Golden State Warriors vs. Utah Jazz Prediction
Stephen Curry's absence does not bode well for the Warriors tonight. The team is riddled with injuries at the moment and will be missing several top tier players tonight. The Warriors have improved significantly this season since their unexpected five-game losing skid in late October/early November. Even so, injuries have rendered them underdogs tonight.
The Jazz, meanwhile, will enjoy the home field advantage tonight and have considerably less injury woes to worry about. Their defense has cost them dearly on several occasions this season. However, with Curry's absence on the Warriors' end, the Jazz aren't in quite as dire a situation as initially expected defensively tonight.
Prediction: Jazz -8 (-112)
