The Jazz have clinched a playoff spot and are still fighting for favorable seeding. On Tuesday night (9 p.m. ET), they host a Warriors club that has stumbled down the stretch and is eager to turn things around before heading to the postseason.

The surging Jazz are 7.5-point favorites, with the over-under for total points scored set at 211.5.

Before picking a side, you need to see what SportsLine expert Micah Roberts has to say. The former Las Vegas sportsbook executive has an innate knowledge of point spreads and he has been locked in with his recent NBA selections. Roberts is on a 13-4 run (76 percent) with his picks against the spread for SportsLine and also is on a 4-0 run when the Jazz are involved. 

Now, Roberts has zeroed in on Tuesday's game and released a strong pick against the spread.

Roberts knows the Jazz have won five straight, all but one by double figures, and clinched a spot in the postseason with their 112-97 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday.

Even so, in the tightly bunched Western Conference, seeding position will be up for grabs until the final horn sounds on the last regular-season game. Utah is in a three-way fight for a top-four position and home-court advantage in the first round of the 2018 NBA playoffs.

The Jazz seemed like an unlikely contender after losing star forward Gordon Hayward in free agency and dealing with a prolonged injury-related absence to center Rudy Gobert. But with the help of dynamic rookie Donovan Mitchell and a healthy Gobert, Utah has been on a tear in the second half of the season.

The Jazz also have dominated their recent series with Golden State. They took advantage of an injury-ravaged Golden State club for a 110-91 win in Oakland on March 25 and also clobbered a full-strength Warriors club 129-99 in January.

Golden State has lost five of nine in a late-season slide as it prepares to enter the NBA playoffs without injured star Stephen Curry for at least the first round.

The rest of the Warriors picked up the slack in a 117-100 victory Sunday over the woeful Phoenix Suns, paced by 34 points from Klay Thompson.

But a leaky defense remains a concern for Golden State, which allowed Utah to shoot 58 percent from the field in their previous meeting. What's more, all five Jazz starters have averaged double figures in their past two games against the Warriors.

Will the surging Jazz cover again against Golden State as a home favorite, or will the Warriors thrive in a rare underdog role? Visit SportsLine now to get the winning side of Warriors-Jazz from a Vegas legend on a 13-4 roll.
