NBA Odds: Jazz-Warriors prediction, odds and pick - 12/28/2022 (ClutchPoints)

The Utah Jazz visit the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night. We continue our NBA odds series with a Jazz-Warriors prediction and pick.

Despite averaging under 20 minutes per game the last two games, he’s the team’s third-leading scorer thanks to shooting 88% from the floor. They’ve started to figure out life without Curry in their last two games and should be able to keep things close tonight. Over the last two games, they’ve relied strictly on their guards to get things done. The Warriors are 15-19-1 against the spread while 59% of their games have gone over. The Jazz are 20-16 against the spread while 54% of their games have gone over. [Steph Curry’s return date](https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-stephen-curry-provides-updated-injury-timeline) unclear, the Warriors rattled off back-to-back home wins. Clarkson found a great deal of success against the Warriors in their two previous matchups. Clarkson is a skilled shot-creator who is shooting a solid 44% from the field. Clarkson is in the midst of a four-game run of 20+ points – a streak that will likely continue given Golden State’s atrocious defense. The Jazz rank fourth in the league in scoring as they average 117.2 points per game. Forward Lauri Markkanen finds himself in the midst of an All-Star-caliber season. Utah has fallen down the standings since their red-hot start to the season but remains a dangerous team thanks to their potent offense.

Christmas wishes for the Utah Jazz in 2023 (SLC Dunk)

Christmas is a magical time, filled with hope and dreams. Perhaps that's why December 25th is the single biggest day for NBA basketball outside of the ...

The Utah Jazz are set to at least one pick outside of the lottery in the 2023 draft. It’s why Memphis and New Orleans are so far ahead of schedule with so much latitude to make the final tweaks for a contending roster. Sure, several of these paved the way for acquiring Mike Conley but a handful we traded away became excellent players down the line. That’s the #2 Utah Jazz Christmas wish for 2023. So far Utah has nailed their star trades, balanced the roster, and found scalable talent at varying levels in Markkanen, Kessler, Beasley, and others. Look at the splits across a few key data points with Kessler ON and Olynyk playing vs sitting the game: Odds are the Jazz don’t have one of those currently on the roster. However, you wouldn’t expect to be better in most every four factor and especially not have a better NRTG. The Utah Jazz signaled the beginning of a new era by trading then franchise players Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell. Sure, Malik Beasley is at his peak, Jarred Vanderbilt is far outplaying his contract, and the Minnesota picks are getting better by the day. On the one hand, Lauri is crazy efficient on high volume. But it’s just that—hope—until we realize the dreams it inspires.

“But my purpose right now is to be there for Will and the staff and lend what I know to the front office in a way that’s maybe a little different than what other people know. He also is enjoying the ability to be more present with his wife and children than he could be as a head coach. But as a husband, I brought my work home a lot, and I was out of the door early. And at the same time, I’m trying to learn and get better at it. The last thing I want us to do is make a decision that sets him back.” Fizdale says it’s important for him to “keep his space” from the coaching staff and just “be their guide,” if needed. While Fizdale dreamed about being in a front office, he needed a job and a check and still had the energy to coach. He was like ‘Man, it’d be hard to not see you as a coach.’ And most of the people I talked to about it was like, ‘What are you talking about? He’s a guy that has big goals and will learn as much as he can at each level to achieve them.” Fizdale next spoke to several current and former NBA executives whom he respects to get their opinion on if he should make a major change to the front office. Wade is also now a finalist for the 2023 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and a part-owner of the Jazz. After a two-year hiatus, Fizdale returned to coaching as an assistant with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2021.

There is no doubt that the Jazz will wish they could take a mulligan on this fourth quarter, this was a winnable game that slipped away due to poor execution and ice-cold shooting. In the fourth quarter, the Jazz went 4/25 from the field, shooting 1/12 from three. It looked like they were going to take care of business in the way we’ve started to expect from this year’s team, and then the Jazz went about as cold as a team can go in the 4th quarter.

Analysis: Utah Jazz lose to Golden State Warriors (Deseret News)

The Utah Jazz lost to the shorthanded Golden State Warriors on Wednesday in San Francisco despite holding a double-digit lead.

In addition to that, Hardy was adamant that he was fine with the Jazz’s execution and their shot selection for the most part Wednesday. “We’re all competitive and we want to win every single night,” Hardy said. Here’s the thing though, that’s honestly about it. Their physicality has bothered us in the past and I thought tonight we rose to the occasion and really played a good game with the exception of not making any shots in the fourth quarter.” “I thought they dug in, really, really competed against a good team in a hard environment to play in.

“We did a good job of staying in front of our guys for the most part, making them have to work hard for buckets,” said Mike Conley, who totaled 10 assists, but shot 2 of 11 overall and just 1 of 8 from 3. “Of course, we can always get better ones, but I think we did a decent job finding the open guy.” But they also weren’t crushed, believing they did many things right, and the game simply came down to some nice looks just not going in. “There’s always a couple games in every season where the most important thing for us as a staff and for our team is to maintain very real perspective,” said coach Will Hardy. Really, it was a few crucial moments (Ty Jerome getting hot at the end of the third period; Patrick Baldwin Jr. Actually, the Jazz were preaching quite the opposite in the aftermath.

Utah’s reserves were being outplayed by players that aren’t accustomed to a lot of time on the court. It was another game where Markkanen was clearly the best player on the court as he continues to make his case for the All-Star team. Utah’s bench was outperformed for the second straight game, being outscored 45-32. The one bright spot in Wednesday’s loss continues to be Markkanen. I can’t think off the top of my head of a player that’s been this bad for this long without any consequences. Give credit to the Warriors' defense for bringing the energy when it mattered.

Olynyk returned to the court in the Bay, and the rust was visible. The Jazz must find a way to combine the positives of this trio and keep the pace of play on the high end as much as possible. Hopefully, for Jazz Nation, the next game will be a positive for Utah. Although the Jazz remain in the playoff hunt, there is reason for concern with the organization in multiple categories. Towards the end of the third quarter, both shot and game clocks were nearing zero. Noticeable for maybe the first time was visible agitation from Jazz head coach Will Hardy in particular, with Collin Sexton.
