What to Know
The Utah Jazz have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the Golden State Warriors and are hoping to record their first win since Jan. 23 of last year. They will face off against one another at 8:30 p.m. ET on Sunday at Chase Center. These two teams come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous games.
The Jazz beat the Detroit Pistons 111-101 this past Friday. Utah’s center Rudy Gobert did his thing and posted a double-double on 24 points and 14 rebounds in addition to four blocks.
Meanwhile, it was a close one, but this past Friday Golden State sidestepped the Houston Rockets for a 105-103 victory. The overall outcome was to be expected, but the Rockets made it more of a game than the oddsmakers had predicted. It was another big night for the Dubs’ point guard Stephen Curry, who dropped a double-double on 22 points and 12 assists.
The wins brought Utah up to 30-16 and Golden State to 33-13. A couple stats to keep an eye on: Utah ranks first in the league when it comes to points per game, with 114.7 on average. But the Warriors come into the matchup boasting the fewest points allowed per game in the league at 102.1. We’ll see which of these strengths — offense or defense — will win out.
