The Warriors just lost the game and they will take on the Jazz on Jan. 2. Curry will lead the team to victory with better performance, Poole and Wiggins will give fire support, and the Warriors will strive to win the strong enemy on the road. The Jazz have been in great form lately, already in a six-game winning streak, and Mitchell is in hot form, and they will go all out to beat a seven-game winning streak.
The Warriors had previously played against the Nuggets and lost by 3 points, which was the first time they had scored more than 100 points in the new season, which showed that the offense was very sluggish. Originally, the two sides would fight again on December 31, but the opponent was postponed because he could not get 8 people. This is undoubtedly a very good rest time for the Warriors, and the main players in the team will adjust to the best state, especially Poole and Wiggins.
There is no doubt that Curry will encounter the Jazz's strict defenses, especially the outside shot will be very difficult, Conley, O'Neal and others will do their best to limit him. But Curry still has to play a performance, after all, he is the leader, otherwise the Warriors' game will be difficult. Curry averaged 27.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game in the new season, and has been more than 30 points in many recent games, so the game against the Jazz only needs to continue the state.
The Warriors can't win by Curry alone, and other players have to step up to help. Wiggins and Poole are the Warriors' main firepower points in the new season, averaging more than 18 points per game and are Curry's best helpers. Curry will definitely be guarded, and this is when the opportunity comes, wiggins and Poole must seize the opportunity to shoot.
Green is now in the health protection program, which has a huge impact on the Warriors. Green is not only the core of the interior defense, but also has excellent passing skills, and the loss of the Nuggets has the impact of his absence. Green is not there, and the Warriors' interior player will be Looney, who will try to limit Gobert. At the same time, the Warriors' other bench players also have to stand up, Porter, Payton, Anderson, Bjlitsa and others have the ability.
The Jazz just won, winning 120-108 at home to win six straight. The Jazz are now in third place in the West, and they are only a game and a half away from the Warriors at the top of the table. If the Jazz can win, then there is only a half-court gap with the Warriors, and there is even hope of rushing to the top of the Western Conference, so it will definitely give its full strength.
The Jazz's downside is back-to-back play, which has an impact on the fitness of the main players, but at home they avoid travel. Mitchell's game against the Timberwolves exploded, slashing 39 points, six rebounds and five assists. Especially in the fourth quarter of the showdown, when Mitchell scored 12 points to lead the team to harvest the game. Against the Warriors, Mitchell must be stronger in order to put more pressure on his opponents.
The Jazz are characterized by a balanced lineup, and we saw 5 members of the team averaging double figures per game. There are also Guy, Ingles and O'Neal who are also strong players. Conley hadn't played in previous games against the Timberwolves, and it was clear that the Jazz were preparing for a game against the Warriors. Bogdanovic is another important point of attack for the Jazz, and he will be a key player in the Jazz's game against the Warriors. The Jazz also have Gobert and Whiteside on the inside, which is their advantage.
Expected starting players for both sides:
Warriors: Curry, Poole, Wiggins, Bjelica, Looney.
Jazz: Conley, Mitchell, Bogdanovic, O'Neal, Gobert.
