The San Antoni Spurs travel to the Delta Center to take on the Utah Jazz on Tuesday night. Here’s a Utah Jazz vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction. This article will include a Utah Jazz vs San Antonio Spurs Pick.

San Antonio Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs have been in great shape as they’ve won five of their last seven games overall and they will be gunning for a fourth straight victory after getting beaten by the Warriors in a 104-94 win on Saturday. Victor Wembenyama led the team with 25 points, seven rebounds and nine assists, Harrison Barnes added 22 points on seven of eight shooting while Stephon Castle chipped in with 19 points but no other player finished in double figures in scoring. As a team, the Spurs shot 44 percent from the field and 13 of 47 from the 3-point line as they got off to a terrible start, scoring just 17 points in the first quarter to trail by 17 points, before they dominated the fourth quarter by 33-13 to make it look easy in the end.

Utah Jazz

Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz have been in poor form as they’ve won five of their last seven games overall, but they will be looking to build some momentum after getting trounced by the Knicks in a 121-106 home win on Saturday. Lauri Markkanen led the team with 34 points on 11 of 15 shooting, Collin Sexton added 25 points with five assists while John Collins chipped in with 20 points, 13 rebounds and two steals. As a team, the Jazz shot 50 percent from the field and 19 of 34 from the 3-point line as they took control of the game with a 38-23 second quarter domination which gave them more than enough cushion to hold off a late rally from the Knicks.

Why the San Antonio Spurs will win

The Jazz have lost 21 of their last 22 night games against teams that held a winning record.
The Spurs have won each of their last eight games as road favorites.
The Spurs have covered the spread in each of their last seven night games against Northwest Division opponents.
The Jazz have failed to cover the spread in seven of their last eight home games against Western Conference opponents that held a winning record.

Total Points Facts

Each of the Jazz’s last nine home games on the first leg of a back-to-back have gone OVER the total points line.
Each of the Spurs’ last eight Tuesday games have gone UNDER the total points line.

Utah Jazz vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction

The Spurs are still shorthanded with Jeremy Sochan and Devin Vassell both ruled out, while the Jazz are still missing Kyle Filipowski and Jordan Clarkson. The Spurs have emerged as one of the hottest teams in the league and they would’ve taken so much confidence from their thrilling comeback win over the red-hot Warriors in their last outing. In contrast, the Jazz were absolutely ice-cold before they snapped out of it with an impressive win over the Knicks in their last game. I wouldn’t be shocked if the Jazz got the upset win at home, but the Spurs have been the more reliable team and I think they get the job done at the short line.
