Prediction
Spurs 125, Jazz 113
Moneyline (ML)
PASS. Despite being 11 games under .500, the Spurs (-358) are big favorites because the Jazz (+275) are resting several players in this early-window game in the bubble. The price is just too expensive. San Antonio has given Utah fits this season, going 2-0. The Spurs won 127-120 as five-point underdogs at home Jan. 29, and claimed a 113-104 upset in Salt Lake City as 7-point dogs Feb. 21.
New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Spurs would only return a profit of just $2.79 if they win outright. A $10 bet on the Jazz fetches a profit of $27.50 if they are victorious.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
With the Jazz in rest mode, the SPURS (-8, -110) are the play here. They’re 2-0 SU and 2-0 ATS this season against the Jazz, and have covered three of their four games in the bubble. The Spurs are also 5-2 ATS across the past seven meetings with the Jazz.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 223.5 (-110) is the way to go, as the Spurs have paid very little mind to defense and have been explosive on offense so far in the bubble. In fact, San Antonio has scored 126 or more points in three of its four bubble adventures, and has allowed 132 points in each of its previous two outings. They Spurs are also averaging 120.0 points in two meetings with the Jazz, while Utah is posting 112.0 PPG in those two contests. Look for another over.
