GSW vs UTA Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Golden State Warriors vs Utah Jazz

GSW vs UTA Dream11: The NBA has been moving towards the Postseason and as we head towards the Playoffs, the intensity level will be sky-high. In the Western Conference, the Phoenix Suns have thrown the gauntlet and have shown that they are the team to beat, the Memphis Grizzlies’ depth is also looking scary at this point and both these teams can end up meeting in the Western Conference Finals. However the matters are more pressing for both the Golden State Warriors and the Utah Jazz, and they will meet in an important game.

The Warriors have derailed in the second half of the season and they have been a rather average team during this period. They have lost seven out of their last eight games and as a result, the Mavericks have gotten rather way too close to the Warriors. They will need to sort out their issues because they will not want to enter the Playoffs with low morale. Can Draymond address some of their failings?

Meanwhile, the Jazz has been off their game too and if we take out the win versus the vulnerable Lakers, they had lost four games prior to that. Due to the stream of losses, the Nuggets have been closing in for the fifth spot. This is why the Jazz needs a winning streak to close out the season and with Bogdanovic back in the picture, their efforts may become better on the offensive end.

Host: Golden State Warriors
Visitors: Utah Jazz
Match Timing: 24 January, @ 07:00 AM

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

The Warriors come into this game after a close 103:107 loss against the Suns despite a 38 points outburst by Jordan Poole
Jordan Poole has done well in the absence of Stephen Curry but the overall balance on both ends has been disturbed on both ends of the floor. Andrew Wiggins’ game has dropped a bit in the second half of the season but Klay Thompson has been able to rally the team with some big nights. Draymond Green has been a bit rusty and the team desperately needs him to click on.

Perhaps a small-ball lineup of Poole and Thompson at the guard positions, Andrew at the wing, Otto as the Power Forward, and Green in the middle can be the way ahead but for that to work, Green needs to play his elite defense while the team will need to communicate better on both ends of the floor. The Warriors have not been on a winning streak for a long team and it is time that they get their steam.

The Jazz walks into this game after beating 122:109 as Donovan Mitchell patched up 29 points and Rudy Gobert clinched 17 rebounds

The Jazz has been not playing a great brand of basketball and as a result, they have dropped multiple places. One of the major reasons for the team’s performance has been the loss of scoring balance and the defense is a little off for most parts. The absence of Bojan Bogdanovic hurt the team a lot on the offensive end and with him back, there is a chance that the perimeter shooting improves and the scoring bolsters.

Rudy Gobert has done his part as a defensive big, elite rebounder, and has also sprayed multiple inside buckets. Jordan Clarkson brings great production off the bench with his isolation scoring and he will be huge during the Postseason too. Royce O’Neale will need to hit more of his open shots for the Jazz to be a better offensive team.  How will the Jazz finish the season?
