[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Utah Jazz (3-11) and San Antonio Spurs (7-8) meet Thursday. Tip-off from Frost Bank Center is set for 8 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Jazz vs. Spurs odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 1-1

The Jazz are coming off a cover as 10.5-point underdogs in a 124-118 loss at the Los Angeles Lakers Tuesday with the Over (234) hitting. Utah is 0-3 straight up (SU) and 2-1 against the spread (ATS) in its last 3 games.

The Spurs upset the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder 110-104 as 9.5-point underdogs Tuesday while the Under (222.5) hit. F Keldon Johnson led the Spurs with 22 points off the bench.

The road team has won and covered each meeting this season, while the Under has gone 2-0. In the most recent meeting Nov. 9, Utah won 111-110 as a 6.5-point underdog at San Antonio while the Under (221.5) cashed. Spurs C Victor Wembanyama had 24 points, 16 rebounds and 7 blocks in the losing effort, but he’ll be sidelined Thursday with a knee injury.

Jazz at Spurs picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 115, Spurs 114

Moneyline

The JAZZ (+120) may be on a 3-game skid, but they have gone 2-1 ATS, and they almost covered in the lone ATS loss — a 116-105 setback as 9.5-point underdogs at the LA Clippers Sunday.

I prefer backing a team like the Jazz, who have been playing slightly above expectation and losing close, over the injury-riddled Spurs who are coming off an upset win over the best team in the West on national TV Tuesday.

Expect San Antonio to have a let-down game.

BET JAZZ (+120).

Against the spread

I’m not against playing Utah +2.5 (-110), but I prefer the ML at plus odds considering how injured the Spurs are.

PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.

Over/Under

The Under has hit in the Spurs’ last 2 games without Wembanyama, but it was odd that they managed to hold Oklahoma City to just 104 points Tuesday. San Antonio coming off such a fluky performance against the Thunder makes me want to fade its defense entirely.

BET OVER 223.5 (-110).

The Jazz, on the third game of a 4-game road trip, have lost 2 in a row and 3 of 4. They are coming off a 116-105 loss to the L.A. Clippers on Sunday, failing to cover the 9.5-point spread as road underdogs.

The Lakers are riding a 5-game winning streak. They last played on Saturday on the road, beating the New Orleans Pelicans 104-99, failing to cover the 8-point spread as favorites. The Under (220.5) cashed in.

Jazz at Lakers picks and predictions

Prediction

Lakers 127, Jazz 112

Moneyline

The Lakers are unbeaten (6-0) at home so far this season. The Jazz are 2-5 on the road and 0-2 on their current road trip.

The Lakers have scored 120 points or more in 3 of their last 4 games. The Jazz have not reached 120 points in their last 6 contests.

The Lakers should pick up their sixth consecutive win, but a -600 moneyline bet isn’t worth the action.

PASS.

Against the spread

Five of the Jazz’ last 7 losses have been by more than 10 points and the Lakers’ 2 wins over the Jazz last season were by at least 15 points. But the Lakers’ last 6 wins have not been by more than 10.

That said, with the Jazz playing their third game in 4 nights, it is ripe for a blowout.

BET LAKERS -10.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The last 2 meetings between the teams had totals above 250 and the Lakers scored over 130 in both wins last season.

The Jazz have allowed 120 points or more in 5 of their last 8 games.

BET OVER 235.5 (-105).

The Clippers return home after an 0-3 road trip Monday though Friday and are coming off 2 consecutive losses to the Houston Rockets. As 5-point underdogs in each game, the Clippers lost 111-103 Wednesday and 125-104 Friday.

Jazz at Clippers picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 115, Clippers 111

Moneyline

The Jazz are 1-0 this season when playing with a rest disadvantage, although they are 0-1 on no rest. They have alternated wins and losses in their last 7 games and are coming off a loss.

The Clippers have lost 3 straight and are only 3-4 at home this season. In their last 3 games, they are allowing 123.3 points per game. On the season, they only average 109.2 points per game.

The Jazz have scored over 110 points in 4 straight games and 5 of their last 6.

The Clippers are 1-3 with a rest advantage.

Take a shot at the upset Sunday.

BET JAZZ (+375).

Against the spread

The Jazz are 3-1 ATS in their last 4 games. The Clippers have not covered the spread in their last 4 games and are 3-6-1 ATS in their last 10.

The safer bet is to have the Jazz cover the +9.5, but if you go with the outright win, there’s no need to bet the spread unless you are looking to hedge.

PASS.

Over/Under

The Jazz have played 7 consecutive games with totals higher than 220.

Two of their 4 meetings last season had totals above 220.

While the Clippers have only 3 such games in their last 10, 2 have come in the last 3 games.

BET OVER 220.5 (-110).

Prediction

Suns 124, Jazz 115

Moneyline

The Jazz are winless at home. The Suns are 3-1 on the road.

The Jazz have allowed 123 or more points in 3 of their last 4 games.

The Suns scored 118 in a loss without Durant, so scoring is not the issue. They have allowed 112.7 points per game this season, 17th in the league.

The Suns have 6 straight wins over the Jazz. The streak should continue, but don’t bet them at -165 when you can get better odds with the spread.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Jazz’ last 6 losses have been by at least 6 points.

Only 4 of the Suns’ 8 wins have been by more than 3 points, but this matchup gives them the opportunity to win without it becoming a 1-possession game down the stretch.

BET SUNS -2.5 (-125).

Over/Under

Both teams have had 2 of their last 4 games surpass the projected total for this matchup.

Utah opponents have scored 123 points or more in 3 of the last 4 games and the Suns can score points, having put up 118 in a loss to the Kings without Durant.

BET OVER 227.5 (-115).

Season series: San Antonio leads 1-0

Utah was destroyed 123-100 by the Milwaukee Bucks Thursday as a 10-point underdog. The Jazz gave up 22 turnovers and had only 2 starters score more than 10 points, with none scoring more than 15. The Jazz have scored 105 or more points in only 2 games this season.

San Antonio beat the Portland Trail Blazers 118-105 Thursday as a 4-point favorite. Despite the Spurs’ highest scorer only putting up 17 points, the Spurs were able to win thanks to 8 players scoring in double figures. The Spurs also held the Blazers to just 28.1% shooting from deep.

Jazz at Spurs picks and predictions

Prediction

Spurs 114, Jazz 112

Moneyline

PASS.

San Antonio (-275) should win, but the Spurs are not worth the risk of betting on at such a high number, especially when the matchup is a toss-up. Bet the spread and/or O/U instead.

Against the spread

LEAN JAZZ +6.5 (-110).

The Jazz also have F Lauri Markkanen, a player that is poised for a big game here. With Spurs C Victor Wembanyama not playing well, the Jazz should be able to keep this one close. Utah is also 3-2 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

This is a lean because the Spurs are much better defensively.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 221.5 (-115).

The Over has hit in 4 straight games for San Antonio and is 2-1 in Utah’s last 3 on the road. The Over has also hit in 3 of the last 5 meetings between these teams.

This is a lean because the O/U has been close to even for both teams this season, as well as in recent meetings. They’re also among the worst offensively in the league.

The Nuggets have won 2 of their last 3 games and have started to figure it out offensively, scoring 116 or more in 3 straight battles. They should come out on top, but at this value, they are far too expensive.

Against the spread

BET JAZZ +10.5 (-110).

The Nuggets have started to come out on top and look better, but they still have lived up to expectations this season after losing G Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in the offseason. Denver is 0-2 ATS at home this season and 0-3 ATS as a favorite of five or greater.

Similarly, the Jazz do have five players that are notching double figures and are 1-0 ATS as a double-digit underdog. They are 1-0 ATS on the road. Considering those trends, back JAZZ +10.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET OVER 220.5 (-115).

The Nuggets are figuring it out offensively and have tallied at least 116 points in 2 of their last 3 games. They also have struggled defensively, largely due to the departure of Caldwell-Pope. Denver has allowed at least 119 points in three straight games and at least 102 in every game his season. It is 3-2 O/U.

The Jazz are 1-4 O/U but have allowed at least 110 in 4 of 5 games and have talented scorers on their roster. Considering the Nuggets style over the last week, back OVER 220.5 (-115).

Spurs at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 110, Spurs 105

Moneyline

BET JAZZ (-135).

The Jazz have several streaky scorers like G Jordan Clarkson and G Collin Sexton who have yet to find their rhythm, but both have proven they can score at an elite level. They should also be the more rested side with the Spurs having spent Wednesday night battling the Oklahoma City Thunder in the national spotlight. San Antonio has averaged 97 points per game over its last 2 and hasn’t found any rhythm offensively.

Despite most of its top talent shooting efficiently, Utah’s top-2 scoring options both are hitting 20% or under of their attempts from deep. The Jazz have an explosive offense, and at home, they should be able to come out on top. At this price, the moneyline is the better play, so back JAZZ (-135).

Against the spread

PASS.

There’s no great value on the spread here. The Spurs have had 2 of their 3 games finish with a 5-point margin or less. Similarly, the Jazz are a favorite, but have yet to win, so the confidence in them to cover isn’t worth the risk over playing them to win outright.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 223.5 (-110).

Neither offense has proven itself over the last few games. While the Jazz did start out the season hot, scoring 124 on the Memphis Grizzlies, they are 0-3 O/U since and have scored under 102 points in 2 of the last 3 games.

The Spurs are a similar story, having topped the total in their first game and having gone Under in 3 straight. They have both failed to score over 110 points in all 3 of those games and have allowed 106 or fewer points in all 3. Considering those trends, back UNDER 223.5 (-110).
