The San Antonio Spurs and Utah Jazz meet Wednesday in NBA action at the Delta Center. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Spurs vs Jazz prediction.

San Antonio Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs have been in a rut as they’ve lost eight of their last 11 games overall, but they will be feeling much better after stopping a three-game skid with a 104-102 home win over the Suns on Monday. Jeremy Sochan and Devin Vassell led the team with 26 points apiece, Zach Collins added 18 points while Keldon Johnson chipped in with 14 points and five assists off the bench. As a team, the Spurs shot 44 percent from the field and eight of 31 from the 3-point line as they wrestled with the Suns in a tight contest, until the very last possession where Jeremy Sochan drained the game-winning 3-pointer to send the Spurs over the line in an unlikely home win.

Utah Jazz

Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz have been ice-cold as they’ve lost 17 of their last 20 games overall, and they will be hoping to snap a six-game slide after getting beaten by the Mavericks in a 115-105 loss on Monday. Lauri Markkanen led the team with 34 points on 10 of 19 shooting, John Collins added 21 points with 11 rebounds while Collin Sexton chipped in with 20 points and six assists, but no other player finished in double figures in scoring. As a team, the Jazz shot just 42 percent from the field and 13 of 39 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 41 points in the first quarter to take the lead into halftime, but they couldn’t find their offense in the second half where they got outscored by 54-39 to suffer yet another disappointing loss. The Jazz will take on the Rockets, Kings, and Cavaliers after this one.

Utah Jazz Team Facts

  • The Jazz have lost each of their last seven games against Western Conference opponents.
  • The Jazz have covered the spread in each of their last six home games against Western Conference opponents that held a losing record.
  • Seven of the Jazz’s last eight home games against Southwest Division opponents have gone UNDER the total points line.

San Antonio Spurs Team Facts

  • The Spurs have lost 16 of their last 17 games against Western Conference opponents after winning as underdogs.
  • The Spurs have failed to cover the spread in each of their last six games at Delta Center against Western Conference opponents that held a losing record.
  • Each of the Spurs’ last four games as underdogs following a home win have gone UNDER the total points line.

Spurs vs Jazz prediction

The Spurs are keeping an eye on Keldon Johnson and Victor Wembanyama who are both questionable, while the Jazz have ruled out Jordan Clarkson again, and they have Lauri Markannen listed as questionable. This is definitely a game where you want to check the lineups before tipoff given how important Wembenyama is to the Spurs. Still, it’s not like the Jazz are good enough to take advantage, given that they are currently one of the coldest teams in the league. This is a game I would rather stay away from, but if I had to choose, I’d lean towards the Jazz to get a much-needed win at home in this spot.
