San Antonio Spurs vs Utah Jazz Predictions

Unconfirmed lineups weaken the favorite

The Associated Press via Yahoo Sports lists San Antonio at Utah as a preseason game Monday at 9 p.m. ET. SportsPicksForum makes the Spurs -155 moneyline favorites and sets the spread at San Antonio -3.5, but several availability questions make those prices difficult to back.

EssentiallySports reports that San Antonio's Tobias Harris is out with a left calf strain and Jayden Quaintance is out while recovering from a right knee injury. De'Aaron Fox is uncertain because of hip tightness and general soreness. The publication's projected Spurs lineup includes Fox and Harris, so it shouldn't be treated as a confirmed starting five.

Utah center Jusuf Nurkic is out with a toe injury, while Lauri Markkanen, Brice Sensabaugh and Kyle Filipowski remain unconfirmed, according to EssentiallySports. Those absences could hurt the Jazz, but uncertainty on both teams leaves too little evidence to justify laying 3.5 points with San Antonio.

Prediction and betting view

San Antonio is the likely winner because SPF prices the Spurs as the favorite, but that doesn't make -155 a worthwhile bet. With no confirmed lineups, recent results or line movement available, the betting lean is Pass.
