San Antonio Spurs vs Utah Jazz Prediction
The San Antonio Spurs are on the end of a back-to-back, and maybe they sit a guy or two which is why this line is what it is because I can’t see why the Jazz are favorites. The Jazz are winless through four games, and their offense has shown zero signs of life. The Jazz are shooting below 40 percent on the season!!! Lauri Markkanen, the best player for the Jazz, is also questionable. Again, unless Wembanyama sits, I don’t see how the Spurs are getting points. Give me the Spurs.Â
