Spurs vs Jazz prediction
I'm not running to the window to lay chalk with the Jazz, but they're at home, and they have the more capable roster on the floor with the recent return of Markkanen. The Spurs could be without Wembanyama and Johnson, as they're both questionable at the time of this writing. The Spurs are also coming off a massive upset win over the Suns, which does create a letdown spot for a young team. There are better options out there on a stacked Wednesday NBA card, but it's the Jazz and the small chalk or pass for me in this game.
