Utah Jazz vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction
The Utah Jazz aren’t a team I’m excited to back, especially on the road, but we’re getting a bucket with the healthier team. The San Antonio Spurs will once again be without Victor Wembanyama and Devin Vassell, while Zach Collins and Chris Paul are questionable. That’s a lot of lost production for a Spurs team that’s not exactly good to begin with. If the Jazz can’t win this game, just throw in the towel on the season. It’s also important to note that the Jazz beat the Spurs on the road earlier this month. Give me the bucket in a game the Jazz should win outright.
