Smart Game Analysis
San Antonio Spurs has a 88% chance of winning the game
The Spurs are poised to dominate a depleted Jazz roster that is missing its two best frontcourt players and possesses the league's worst defense.
Key Analysis
- • Utah is severely handicapped by the confirmed absences of star forward Lauri Markkanen and starting center Walker Kessler.
- • Victor Wembanyama will feast in the paint against a Jazz interior that lacks its primary rim protector.
- • The Jazz possess the NBA's worst defense, allowing a league-high 127.4 points per game.
- • San Antonio comfortably defeated Utah 123-110 just three days ago and has won three of its last five games.
- • The Spurs rank 3rd in the league for defensive rating and hold opponents to just 45.9% shooting.
- • Utah's only path to an upset relies on questionable guard Keyonte George playing and replicating his recent 43-point performance.
