The San Antonio Spurs will welcome the Utah Jazz looking to end their current NBA losing run. San Antonio is currently bottom in the Western Conference standings while the Jazz are three places above them in 12th. The Spurs have been the whipping boys in the West and have lost 24 of their 28 matches. But as they are coming up against a team also finding it hard to win, they will fancy their chances. Greg Popovich’s men had lost 18 straight games before defeating the Lakers almost two weeks ago. They have failed to build on this and have now lost their last four matches with the latest coming away to the Mavericks. San Antonio lost by 25 in Dallas after tallying 119 points. The Spurs are at the best offensively when at home and are scoring five points more than their total average for the season. Rookie Victor Wembanyama is listed as ‘Questionable’ for this match. He missed the trip to Dallas with an ankle issue.

The Utah Jazz have been in good form in recent outings. They have won five of their last seven games and are currently on a two game winning run. Will Hardy’s men were 126-119 winners in Toronto against the Raptors to end a three game road trip in the East. The win was their 12th of the campaign and moved them to six games below .500. Utah is averaging 120.3 points a game in its last three games and this is 7.3 points more than their season average. Talen Horton-Tucker and Keyonte George are doubts for this match due to foot and knee issues respectively. With their form, the Jazz will fancy their chances of a third successive victory for the first time this season.
