11/4 Utah vs. San Antonio

7:00 pm MT – Root Sports/League Pass

Opponent record: 4-0

Season series: Tied 0-0

If the old adage, “familiarity breeds contempt” holds true, then we are going to be really sick of the Spurs by the end of this week. Especially if their winning ways continue. While the Jazz have to play the Mavericks in between contests, the Spurs get the luxury of two days off before heading to Salt Lake to take on the Jazz.

While I’m predicting the Jazz to put up a better fight on their home court, I have a hard time believing that there will be a better end result, especially with the extra rest the Spurs will get before the contest.

I feel I’ve already touched enough on how scary good the Spurs are and unfortunately I believe they’ll deal the Jazz their first home loss of the season (assuming the Mavs don’t do it first).

My Prediction: Spurs Win

Final Score: San Antonio 95, Utah 88
