Jazz vs Spurs Betting Tips & Predictions
1. Utah Jazz vs San Antonio Spurs Moneyline Pick
As the San Antonio Spurs moneyline is at -133, it looks like a great pick due to their elite scoring prowess over Utah. Seeing that Chris Paul’s passing and Stephon Castle knocking down shots with Devin Vasell off the bench make a great backcourt, they should outscore one that includes Collin Sexton plus Keyonte George. With Cody Williams off the Jazz still struggling to find a proper role, San Antonio’s Julian Champiegne will outnumber him in all statistical categories. As this Spurs squad has an amazing frontcourt with Victor Wembanyaba and Harrison Barnes, they should easily outscore plus rebound Walker Kessler in addition to Lauri Markken in the middle. All in all, the -133 money line looks perfect for San Antonio to win and their 2nd in a row.
2. Utah Jazz vs San Antonio Spurs Point Spread Pick
With San Antonio entering as -2 favorites in this game, they should continue being an elite force that can dominate Utah at both ends. Led by Chris Paul who continues being one of the top passers in NBA play, his greatness as a facilitator continues to be a key factor for this team. Going up against a very young Keyonte George, he should provide a lot of dribbling that can dominate the Jazz’s weaker defender. As a great layup finisher as well, Paul’s greatness in finding space is something George hasn’t developed yet, while on the other end, the Spurs guard can continue providing steals with his quick hands plus alertness. At shooting guard, Collin Sexton will probably have a scoring advantage against a weaker defender like Stephon Castle, but the Spurs guard should provide his attack as well. Seeing that Castle has turned into a solid finisher who can hit his perimeter shots, his passing ability has been a very underrated characteristic as well. Knowing that Sexton doesn’t provide that, the Spurs guard will be able to out-number him in most other areas. Having Julian Champiegne at small forward will continue being a huge mismatch against Cody Williams, as he has found great prowess in knocking down shots at all levels while having strong rebounding numbers. Going up against a smaller guy in Cody Williams, he should win that battle and continue having impressive 3-point numbers. With Lauri Markannen at power forward, this will be a key part of how Utah keeps it close due to his ability to be the Jazz’s best board-getter plus scorer. The thing is Harrison Barnes will keep it close due to his mid-range scoring, while Victor Wembanyaba will handle a defensive-minded player in Walker Kessler inside due to a size advantage. All in all, this -2 spread for San Antonio looks great.
3. Utah Jazz vs San Antonio Spurs Over/Under Pick (Total Points)
Seeing that the over/under is at 223.5 points for both squads, they will have efficient scorers who can be all-around threats throughout. As Utah has one of the best inside-scoring shooting guards, their point guard continues developing into a solid three-point weapon that can knock down shots from mid-range as well. Led by an all-star small forward, his ability to be their main shooting weapon will have a vital impact in this game. Having a center that can put shots back up and one of the better backup point guards, this Utah squad plays a San Antonio unit that has it’s ability to score as well. Seeing that their backcourt has two pieces that complement each other's game with passing and shooting, the center on this roster continues to be a great floor spacer who can create off the dribble as well. With a power forward who has been known for his mid-range game and some key bench pieces, San Antonio should help this game's total score go over 244 points from last time.
Utah Jazz vs San Antonio Spurs Top Player Props
Collin Sexton over 16.5 points at 1.91: Seeing that the Jazz point guard remains one of the best drivers to the basket who can hit his mid-range shots as well, Sexton’s offensive game should continue taking leaps. Going up against a young defender in Stephon Castle whose shown lapses on defense against speedy guards, the Jazz one should have an easier time scoring. As Sexton averages 16.5 points a game, he should go above his season average in this game.
Victor Wembanyaba over 23.5 points at 1.75: As the Spurs center continues being a great stretch player who can knock down perimeter shots and use size to finish inside, he should be on a role once again. Although he has to go against a top defender in Walker Kessler, Wemby is way longer and should be able to catch all the alley-oops plus finish inside on rebounds as well. Knowing that Victor Wembanyba averages 22.9 points a night, he should hit the over in this game.

Utah Jazz Injuries: As the Jazz don’t have any current injuries, they will continue running with the same rotations to create some noise for future purposes.

Meanwhile, San Antonio still has Jermey Soachan out due to his thumb injury, but Harrison Barnes should still do an impressive job in replacing him.

Jazz vs Spurs Match Prediction
As San Antonio enters this game having finally gotten everyone back and on a strong streak, it should continue against a weaker opponent like Utah. Knowing that they continue developing into being contenders, this roster has Chris Paull running at point guard once again. Someone who keeps leading this offense down the floor every time, and his passing ability continues to be one of the hardest things to defend. As a great piece that can drive plus knock down threes as well, his matchup against Keyonte George is pretty simple. Due to the Jazz guard being so young and inexperienced, some of his games haven’t gone well due to having rough shooting nights with a multitude of turnovers. Against an elite player like Chris Paul, it will continue as Paul has shown great ability to force deflections and steal the ball this season. Someone who can create traps as well, his greatness will have a huge impact on the matchup. As Stephon Catle will line up next to him with no Devin Vasell, this young threat's growth as a deep-range scorer has helped San Antonio win a lot. Although he hasn’t been a great defender and has to go up against a quick guard like Collin Sexton, Castle’s efficient percentages will keep this matchup close.
With Julian Champiegne going up against Cody Williams, this small forwards growth as a rebounder and finisher will dominate the Jazz one. Knowing that Champiegne has one of the best jump-shot forms on this roster, he will continue firing away from deep against a much weaker defender in Williams. Seeing his great length will play a factor as well, Champiegne will create a lot of steals plus blocks to create extra opportunities for San Antonio. Although Lauri Markannen has a clear advantage for Utah at power forward, Harrison Barnes will keep it very tight with his mid-range prowess. Even though Markannen will win the rebounding and scoring dominance, the Spurs have an amazing center in Victor Wembanyaba who continues finishing inside or outside at a strong level. Seeing that he continues being one of the best blockers as well, Wembanayaba should dominate a guy in Walker Kessler who mostly has a defensive game. As the Spurs have Keldon Johnson coming off the bench, Utah can keep it close if Jordan Clarkson and Patty Mills can create as well.
Our prediction: San Antonio Spurs win this game and cover their -2 spread, while score goes over 223.5 points.
