San Antonio Spurs vs Utah Jazz prediction

I don't want to back the San Antonio Spurs as much as the next guy as they're a young team that's not playing defense, winning or covering numbers. However, the Jazz have bee a mess over the last two weeks, they're losing as well, and they also don't play a lick of defense. The Jazz have covered just 2 of their last 10 games. No, thanks. I'm not laying big numbers with the Jazz. It's Spurs and the free buckets or pass for me.
