LOSS

This is a bounce back spot for San Antonio after losing a Western showdown. Tony Parker had two points on 0-of-4 shooting in 21 minutes against Golden State and was unable to guard Warriors star Stephen Curry. San Antonio has lost two in a row against two of the NBA's top teams, which won't sit well with the head coach or the veteran players. They are 13th in the NBA in scoring and eighth in points allowed, which is outstanding balance. "Hopefully the next game against Utah he'll be even more aggressive, we need him to be aggressive," said Parker. Utah is 4-30 when allowing at least 97 points, and that's a concern as San Antonio averages 100.9 points. Utah is 1-7 ATS playing on two days rest, ranked 23rd in the NBA in field goal shooting defense, plus 29th at defending the three-pointer. And when these teams meet, the favorite is 24-11-1 ATS in the last 36 meetings. Play the Spurs.
