NBA - Utah Jazz (+4.5) over San Antonio Spurs
Utah welcomes the Spurs to Delta Center for an important Friday night matchup. The Jazz defeated the Hornets on Wednesday night to move into the eighth spot in the Western Conference. Gordan Giricek led Utah with 19 points on 9-of-15. Every game is huge for the Jazz at this point, with Portland and Denver nipping at their heels for the final playoff berth in the West.
San Antonio has won 4 straight, all at home. They have clinched a playoff berth but are still playing for positioning. However, their offense leaves much to be desired on the road, averaging 88 points per game. Their defense is strong no matter where they play, and they allow 86.3 ppg on the road. Utah's D is equally tough when they play on their home court, allowing 87.2 ppg while their offense scores 90.5 ppg on the other end.
The Jazz, 25-13 against the spread at home, have a lot to play for and they have done well lately under the pressure, winning 5 of their last 7 matchups. This game should remain close till the final buzzer.
We like the home dog in this Friday night fight. Take Utah getting the points.
