Utah Jazz
With enough of a sample in hand, the identity and this roster’s position in the West is clearer.
Aside from sweeping the Pelicans baseball set recently (who perhaps got a little too hyped from their own baseball sweep of the Suns), the Jazz victories are primarily tied to beating tanking and middling teams.
Diving into their recent stretch of 20 they were 9-11 with six of those victories against teams with winning records. However, in virtually every case they were missing a core member.
For example, they beat the Clippers without Leonard and George but with Kawhi in the line-up, they lost.
Even when they beat the Warriors they didn’t have Curry, Wiggins, and Green in the lineup. This isn’t to say the Jazz aren’t a good team but they’re closer to a play-in seed than a bonafide top-six seed. For the most part, they win the games they should and lose to the elite teams.
Lauri Markkanen is leading the Jazz with 22.8 points, 8.1 rebounds (1.9 offensive boards), and 2.1 assists per game.
He’s shooting 53.3 percent on 15.1 field goal attempts, 43.8 percent from the perimeter on 6.8 attempts, and 83.3 percent from the free throw line on 4.5 attempts per game.
Utah averages 117.0 points per game (4th) while shooting 47.4% from the field (14th) and 37.2% from deep (8th). Jazz opponents score 115.9 points (23rd) shooting 48.1% from the field (25th) and 34.8% from deep (7th).
Kelly Olynyk (ankle) is questionable for Monday.
San Antonio Spurs
The Spurs followed up their 11-game losing streak by playing .500 ball (4-4). Yet they aren’t trying to pretend to be anything they aren’t. This year is all about losing in order to win the Wembanyama sweepstakes.
On offense, the Spurs average 110.6 points per game ranking 25th overall. San Antonio shoots 46.5 percent from the field and 34.5 percent from the perimeter ranking 19th and 20th respectively.
While the Spurs struggle to score the larger issue lies on the defensive side of the hardware with them ranking 30th in all three defensive categories allowing 120.2 opponent points per game 50.6% field goal percentage and 39.3% perimeter percentage.
No injuries to report.

Free Utah Jazz vs. San Antonio Spurs NBA Prediction:
Going back to the identity of the Jazz, the Spurs are among those lower-tier teams they typically beat so take Utah to win and cover.
