The Utah Jazz will be out to snap their current losing run in the NBA when they host the San Antonio Spurs next. They come to this game sitting 12th in the Western Conference standings, more than 10 games clear of bottom-placed San Antonio. The Jazz have lost their last six matches. They possess the third-longest losing run at the moment and will be eager to end this. Will Hardy’s men were defeated 115-105 last time out by the Mavericks at home. Their 43rd defeat of the season saw them fall 14 games below .500. But having won both matchups with the Spurs this season, Utah will be confident of a win. They were 128-109 victors the last time the Spurs were in town which was a month ago. Jordan Clarkson and Lauri Markkanen, who have both been sidelined recently, have been upgraded to questionable for this game. Omer Yurtseven also has a 50/50 chance of suiting up. The Jazz have averaged 107 points over their last three matches.

The Spurs have struggled all season long. But as they are coming off a morale-boosting win, they will fancy their chances here. Greg Popovich’s men defeated the Suns at home 104-102 to earn only their 16th win of the season. This snapped a three-game losing run and was their second win in the last eight outings. Defeating the stacked Suns without Victor Wembanyama made the win all so sweeter. Wembanyama sat out the game due to an ankle issue and is listed as ‘Questionable’ for this trip. The Spurs possess the third-worst record in the league and have already been eliminated from playoff contention. They have compiled a 16-56 record and have lost 34 of 44 matchups with fellow West teams. Over their last three matches, the Spurs have averaged 102.3 points.
