Steph Curry is favored to go under 26.5 points on Friday night in Utah. Golden State's bloated rotation means Curry won't have as many shots or minutes. Bet on him to score less than 26.5 points.

Lauri Markkanen has even odds of scoring at least 23.5 points against the Warriors. Markkanen will have the height advantage over several Golden State defenders. Take your money, and place it on the Jazz star having more than 24 points.
