Utah at San Antonio

The Spurs are about to enter their annual eight-game brutal "Rodeo Road Trip" and could really use a win here at home, given they have dropped three straight. But that will be tough against the Jazz. Utah is also motivated after losing by nine points to the Rockets last game, despite the absence of James Harden, Russell Westbrook and Clint Capela. I think the Jazz come out motivated here to erase the stench from that embarrassing outing. Utah is 32-14 on the season and a very respectable 14-10 on the road. Their offense is clicking, and have averaged 120 points per game over their last five. San Antonio is a .500 team at home and they have been severely underperforming expectations here, having gone 7-17 ATS in this building. Dating back to last season, the Jazz are 40-24 ATS vs. losing teams. This season they are 13-5 ATS when the total is set very high like it is here (220 or greater). They are also 13-2 ATS the past two seasons when following an upset home loss. Back the Jazz here.
