The Spurs sport a 120.4 defensive rating over their last five games (1-4 ATS), and they're coming off a 20-point shellacking in Orlando. Utah has covered six of its last seven against teams with sub-.400 winning percentages. Collin Sexton (14.5 ppg) returned Friday from a hamstring strain and scored 18 points in 17 minutes in the Jazz's 120-112 win over Washington. While Kelly Olynyk remains out, Utah has more than enough talent to cover versus the lowly Spurs.
The Jazz are a tough matchup for the Spurs. They are very good from behind the arc, posting the eighth-highest three-point shooting percentage in the league. Meanwhile, the Spurs have allowed the highest three-point shooting percentage in the league. The Spurs have already lost four of their last five games with each loss coming by at least nine points. Their only win during that span came over the lowly Rockets. If the Jazz are dialed in from deep, this could get out of hand in a hurry.
