BEST BETS

Pandian: Golden State (-7) at Jazz:The Jazz are a great defensive team but they won’t be able to stop the streaking Warriors.

Harper: Jazz (+7) OVER Warriors:Fortune favors the bold. And the combination of Derrick Favors (assuming he’s back from missing last game due to personal reasons) and Rudy Gobert could set the table and test the theory that you break the Warriors’ great play with slow, defensive-minded play.

Moore: Spurs (-3.5) at Chicago: Chicago is 1-5 at home ATS, the Spurs are 5-2 as a road favorite. This is the first home game the Bulls have been a dog in. All the reasons I don’t trust Chicago night to night are in a big bowl here. Also, Jimmy Butler has a foot injury. BEWARE THE BULLS.

Are the Jazz the team to finally beat the Warriors? (USATSI)
