GOLDEN STATE @ UTAH

Burks has only cleared this total 2/6 in November with those 2 starts being cleared in back to back starts, with 18 & 18.

In a return to Salt Late, I don’t expect Burks to see enough opportunity to clear this line with D Russell shooting at volume and more importantly the Jazz rolling into this game as significant favorites with a blowout on the cards.
