  • Total Points Under is 24-8-2 in the last 34 meetings.
  • Total Points Under is 10-4-1 in the last 15 meetings in Utah.

The line has come in from -13.0 to -5.5 for the Warriors with the arrival in Utah for Game 3.

Golden State haven’t lost in this postseason, and have made a habit of putting on hefty leads early on, that leave opponents digging themselves out of a hole during the 2nd half.

Four different players are averaging in double figures for the Warriors in the series. Stephen Curry is leading the way with 22.5 points per game. Defensively, the Warriors have also forced 14.5 turnovers per game, with an average of 22 points off of turnovers.

Green is listed as probable tonight after tweaking his knee in Game 2. If he plays, take the line for the Warriors.
