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.
