San Antonio Spurs vs Utah Jazz Prediction
The San Antonio Spurs should be favored at home, but this line is thick when you consider you’re not going to see the Spurs this big of a favorite much at all the rest of the season. The Jazz may have just one win, but they’re as healthy as they’ve been in a while mainly with the return of Markkanen. I don’t want to back the Jazz, but laying this many points with the Spurs is a bit rich. The Spurs recently blew a massive lead to the Clippers and then got smoked by the Rockets. Anything can happen in this game. Give me the Jazz and free buckets.
