Betting on the San Antonio Spurs
- Regular Season Record: 14-47
While they don’t have the worst record in the league, the San Antonio Spurs are, arguably, the worst performing team in the NBA right now, as they are in the midst of a dreadful streak of 16 straight games, and have dropped 21 of their last 22, so it’s no wonder they find themselves ranked second-to-last in the Western Conference.
The Texans have struggled offensively this campaign, averaging just 112.3 points per game and shooting 46.8% from the field. However, they have been much more deficient on defense, where they average 122.9 points against per game and allow their opponents a 50.9% shooting percentage, making them the worst in the league in both aspects.
Betting on the Utah Jazz
- Regular Season Record: 31-31
The Utah Jazz have not been the same as they were at the beginning of the season. However, they have managed to improve considerably in recent weeks, coming into this game with wins in their first two games after the All-Star Game break. They are once again in the play-in zone, although there is little difference between them and their rivals, so they know that they cannot give up in this type of match.
The most recent of these victories came precisely against their rival, the Spurs, in a game in which they had a slow start but were able to take control of things, winning the third quarter by 14 points to end up winning 102-118. Lauri Markkanen was the Jazz’s best player in that game with 27 points, two assists, and four rebounds.
JefeBet Prediction
The difference between the two teams was more than evident in their previous matchup, as the Jazz, who own an offense that averages 117.6 points scored per game (the fifth best in the league), took advantage of the Spurs’ defensive shortcomings.
Moreover, while the Jazz have an unreliable defense, the Spurs aren’t even able to take advantage of that, much less as visitors, a condition in which they average 111.5 points scored per game. Therefore, we expect the Jazz to impose their will again in this clash and take a comfortable victory.
Prediction: Utah Jazz Spread.
