Utah Jazz vs. San Antonio Spurs Predictions, Picks, Odds

WSN’s Pick

The Utah Jazz and San Antonio Spurs are outside the competitive playoff picture this season. The Jazz are on a great run of form, and their frontcourt projects to dominate this matchup with Victor Wembanyama’s status are still in the air. The Jazz’s depth should help them win against the lowly Spurs.

Head-to-Head: Utah Jazz vs. San Antonio Spurs

Utah Jazz Preview

Despite a promising yet disappointing end to last season, the Utah Jazz haven't made the expected leap. Continuing their five-game road trip, they face the Spurs after winning consecutive games against the Pistons and Raptors. They're rightly favored against the Spurs, who currently sit as the worst team in the conference.

One of the worst two-way teams in the NBA, the Jazz average 113.0 points (21st) while allowing 119.4 points (24th) per game. Their strength lies in their physicality, collecting 46.0 rebounds per game (4th) while allowing just 42.4 boards (6th) from their opponents. They’re led by Finnish forward Lauri Markkanen, who averages 23.7 points and 8.6 rebounds per game.

The Jazz’s injury report includes Keyonte George (Foot) and Talen Horton-Tucker (Foot), both listed as day-to-day and did not play in their last match against the Raptors.

San Antonio Spurs Preview

The San Antonio Spurs have a bright outlook as they build around French big man Victor Wembanyama. But they have a lot to work on, as their lack of talent has placed them among the worst teams in the conference.

Despite the opportunity against an underachieving Jazz team, the Spurs, plagued by injuries and team struggles, are rightly underdogs. Ranking in the bottom third in various categories, their 45.5% field goal efficiency (28th) and 15.8 turnovers per game (28th) are notable weaknesses. Star rookie Victor Wembanyama leads with 18.5 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 3.0 blocks per game.

The Spurs’ injury report lists Charles Bassey (Knee) as unavailable, set to miss the season with a torn ACL. Rookie star Victor Wembanyama (Ankle) is listed as day-to-day after suffering an ankle injury before his last game.
