Game Preview
The San Antonio Spurs will deal with fatigue in this matchup because they played last night. Their rival was the Oklahoma City Thunder, who won 105-93. Wemby had a clash with Chet Holmgren and lost it. He scored only six points in 27 minutes of play, with eight boards and four turnovers.
Veteran forward Harrison Barnes had 18 points, while Jeremy Sochan scored 17. Chris Paul had 14 and nine assists with five boards. The Spurs had 52 rebounds, 13 more than the rivals.
The Jazz struggle with poor performances and have one big injury lingering above their heads. Lauri Markkanen injured his lower back, and even though it’s not that serious, the Jazz can’t rush to get him back on the field.
Kings smashed Jazz in the most recent event, 113-96, leading far more throughout the game. Jordan Clarkson had 21 points, a team-high, while John Collins scored 18 off the bench. Kyle Filipowski replaced Markkanen, having 12 points and eight boards, decent stats, we might say.
Spurs vs. Jazz Head-to-Head
The Spurs beat the Jazz in an NBA preseason clash, 126-120. That one played in San Antonio.
Spurs vs. Jazz Prediction
Given the Jazz’s form and the fact that they probably won’t have Markkanen, we think we should pick the Spurs despite them playing the second of back-to-back games. This one is worth risking.
