Spurs vs Utah Prediction 3 November 2026
🏀 In one of Tuesday’s NBA regular-season games, the San Antonio Spurs host the Utah Jazz. The Spurs are in fine form and will look to extend their winning streak, while the Jazz have endured a difficult start to the season and arrive with significant frontcourt injury concerns. This could be a one-sided contest, with the hosts set to dominate - especially if the brilliant Wembanyama is at his best.
Head-to-Head
📊 The teams have already met this season: on October 29 in Salt Lake City, the San Antonio Spurs battled to a 117-111 overtime win. The Spurs also took last season’s head-to-head series 2-1.

San Antonio Spurs: Are They Climbing to the Top of the West?
The San Antonio Spurs opened with two losses, but they have since won four of their last five games to climb to sixth in the Western Conference. They are looking increasingly cohesive, and the partnership between Wembanyama and Fox is beginning to click: the Spurs are plus-96 across 213 possessions with both on the court, compared with minus-17 without them.
Wembanyama had 43 points, seven rebounds and six blocks in their last game against Minnesota, offering another reminder of why he is regarded as one of the league’s biggest stars. The Spurs score 117.3 points per game and allow 110.2, ranking in the top 12 in both categories. One of their biggest strengths is their remarkable backcourt depth. Fox, Harper, Castle and Vassell are all averaging double figures, giving the Spurs four different ways to generate offense.

Utah Jazz: Underdogs Once Again
Utah Jazz have had a difficult start to the season: they are 1-5, have lost four straight and sit bottom of the Western Conference. But their biggest problem is not the results - it is their depleted roster. Jackson Jr. and starting centre Nurkic are both out with injuries, significantly weakening the team.
The Jazz scored just 90 points against Portland in their last game, falling short of 100 for the first time this season. George has been their only consistent offensive threat so far, averaging 21.7 points and 6.3 assists per game. He scored 31 in their first head-to-head meeting with the San Antonio Spurs. Markkanen, though, has struggled, shooting just 30% from three, while Mykhailiuk is at 26%. When those two are not hitting their shots, Utah's offence becomes far too one-dimensional.

First-quarter prediction
Utah Jazz have scored more than 25.5 points in the first quarter in eight straight head-to-head meetings. They average 32.6 first-quarter points on the road, while San Antonio Spurs concede 26.2 at home. Our pick is Utah Jazz over 25.5 first-quarter team points at odds of 1.86.
Prediction: Match Result
Utah Jazz have covered the +22.5 spread in ten straight games. Our pick is Utah Jazz +22.5 at odds of 1.41.
Total Points Prediction
Under 233.5 points has landed in 18 of the San Antonio Spurs’ last 19 home games. Meanwhile, 11 of the Utah Jazz’s last 12 away games have gone over 225.5 points. That argues against an extremely low-scoring game, but the two trends are not mutually exclusive. Our pick is under 233.5 points at odds of 1.77.
A reliable bet
The total has stayed under 239.5 points in 10 of Utah Jazz’s last 11 games. In San Antonio Spurs’ home games, the lower line of 233.5 points has gone under in 18 of 19. We’re backing under 239.5 total points at odds of 1.44.
Top Scorers
Jackson Jr. is the only Utah Jazz player with a chance of slowing down elite big men, and he is out. Nurkić is unavailable too. That leaves Hayes and Bamba, who allowed Wembanyama to put up 36 points and 14 rebounds in the teams’ first head-to-head meeting of the season. Nothing has improved since, so Wembanyama to score over 25.5 points at odds of 1.74* looks like a strong pick.
*Odds are indicative and may vary between bookmakers.
⭐ Editor’s prediction
Without Jackson and Nurkic, Utah Jazz have no answer for Wembanyama in the paint. Hayes and Bamba are not equipped to defend the seven-foot Frenchman one-on-one. Wembanyama had 36 points and 14 rebounds in the first meeting, and the Jazz’s injury situation and form have only worsened since. San Antonio Spurs are at home, have had two days’ rest and are in far better form. That makes San Antonio Spurs to cover the -13.5 spread the pick.
