The San Antonio Spurs suffered an embarrassing loss to the Houston Rockets on Tuesday, blowing a 16-point lead in the second half. On Thursday, they will get a chance to add another win to their count, as they take on the Utah Jazz.
The Spurs are 1-1 against Utah this season, beating them by 13 points in their most recent outing, on Monday. The Jazz, at this point in the season, are tanking for a draft pick and don't really have much interest in winning, evidenced by their two straight losses to the Dallas Mavericks, who are in a similar boat.
The Spurs are well-aware of their reputation as a team that can't finish, but should be able to make short work of a shorthanded Jazz team.
Before tipoff, we have you covered with everything you need to know, from betting odds, TV info, and injury reports for both squads.
The Jazz have a very similar injury report compared to their last game against the Spurs, although the line is slightly more in their favor thanks to home-court advantage. With Kornet possibly not playing, Kelly Olynyk will have a chance to go hard against his old team.
After this game, the Spurs will get a rare two nights off before returning to San Antonio to take on the New Orleans Pelicans. New Orleans doesn't own its own draft pick in 2026, so unlike the Jazz's taking effort, the Pelicans are simply a bad team. However, with nothing to lose, fans shouldn't expect them to roll over as eagerly as the Jazz are expected to tonight.
