Things are apparently not well with the San Antonio Spurs right now, and visiting the Utah Jazz does not seem like a recipe for improvement.
The Jazz are a fantastic 18-3 straight up at home this season while winning by an impressive average of +12.8 points per game, and they are a sparkling 22-8-1 against the spread in their last 31 contests stretching back to last season. They are also a hot club right now, as they have won four straight and seven of their last nine after a 97-89 road win at Houston last night, and they have won eight straight at home.
The Spurs appeared to be in a spot to assert themselves on Saturday, as they figured to make a statement vs. a New Orleans Hornets team that owns the best record in the Western Conference. Instead, San Antonio scored a grand total of just 51 points over the last three quarters of a 102-78 blowout loss, the worst home loss of Tim Duncan’s career. They must now go on a long road trip as the rodeo comes to the Alamo Dome, and the Spurs have a losing 8-9 SU record away from home this season while going a poor 6-11 ATS.
Finally, the home team has dominated this head-to-head series while going 10-1 in the last 11 meetings, and given these clubs home/away splits this year, look for more of the same here at this cheap number.
