<p>The Golden State Warriors have enjoyed their previous two meetings this season against the Utah Jazz. Now, they'll be set to face off for the third time, but will Utah have something to be happier about this time around?</p> <p>The game will take place on Thursday, January 29, at 13:00 AEDT, and will be played in Utah. It will be the first time they have hosted GSW this season, so is that something that they can use to their advantage?</p> <p>Read on as we provide our picks for betting value in this upcoming contest, as we preview the upcoming clash and offer our Utah Jazz vs Golden State Warriors betting predictions…</p> <h2>Utah Jazz vs Golden State Warriors: Betting Preview</h2> <p>In the two games played in California, the following results occurred:</p> <ul> <li>Jan 2026: GSW 123-114 Jazz</li> <li>Nov 2025: GSW 134-117 Jazz</li> </ul> <p>In those games, Steph Curry managed to score 31 points in each of them to help the Warriors to the two victories. However, it wasn't all bad for the Jazz, as Lauri Markkanen scored 35 points in the most recent tie between the two.</p> <p>Still, it's worth noting that these two results followed several trends. The first being the fact that GSW have typically excelled when these two teams play.</p> <p>Over the last 18 games, the Warriors have won 15 and lost just three. It's worth noting that the Jazz did win a game last season, 131-128, which was the last time they met in Utah. The three wins that the Jazz have had over those 18 games have each come at home, which is why there can be some betting value to be had in this matchup.</p> <p>The second trend, following the two victories earlier in the NBA regular season, is based on current form. GSW have been inconsistent in the league, but have managed to win more than they have lost. For the Jazz, it's been the opposite story. Utah are near the bottom of the Western Conference, losing twice as many times as they've won.</p> <h2>Utah Jazz vs Golden State Warriors: Betting Predictions</h2> <p>Our top Utah Jazz vs Golden State Warriors betting prediction is that we think it is likely the GSW win.
