PREVIEW: The San Antonio Spurs (30-14) travel to face the Utah Jazz (15-29) , with the visitors looking to end a rough stretch away from home. San Antonio has lost three straight road games , but they arrive as double-digit 13-point favorites nonetheless. The Spurs rank first defensively in limiting shots attacking the rim and third in rebounding , establishing themselves as one of the league's most efficient defensive units. Conversely, Utah allows plenty of three-point attempts (ranked 30th) and struggles defensively against rim attacks (ranked 29th) , vulnerabilities the Spurs will look to exploit. The Jazz snapped a four-game losing streak with a 127-122 win over the Timberwolves on Tuesday, with Keyonte George leading the team with 43 points. Utah offensively benefits from a quick tempo (ranked third) and excellent passing (ranked fourth) , creating a dynamic attacking approach that contrasts sharply with San Antonio's more controlled style. The Spurs average 117.7 points and allow 112.6, displaying balance on both ends of the floor. Utah's offensive spacing ranks near the bottom of the league (27th), which could limit their ability to spread out San Antonio's defense , making this a fascinating matchup between contrasting styles and trajectories.
