The San Antonio Spurs might have tired legs after a game yesterday as they head on the road against the Utah Jazz at 10 p.m. ET May 3 at Vivint Smart Home Arena. Utah should still be riding high after a win, while the Spurs will be looking to right the ship.
San Antonio fought the good fight in their overtime contest against the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result, falling 113-111. Despite the defeat, San Antonio got a solid performance out of center Gorgui Dieng, who had 17 points.
Speaking of close games: Utah came out on top in a nail-biter against the Toronto Raptors this past Saturday, sneaking past 106-102. Utah's small forward Bojan Bogdanovic looked sharp as he shot 6-for-11 from beyond the arc and finished with 34 points.
The Spurs are expected to lose this next one by 6.5. The odds have been favorable for them against the spread on the road this season, even if it's been tough sledding overall. They are 21-8-1 ATS in away games but only 35-27-1 all in all.
San Antonio suffered a grim 130-109 defeat to the Jazz in the teams' previous meeting in January. Can San Antonio avenge their loss, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll soon find out.
