Thursday in the Association sees a Western Conference battle between the Utah Jazz and the San Antonio Spurs. Utah are still seeking their first win of the season at 0-4 while San Antonio are only one place above them at 1-3. Let’s break down the key match statistics and offer a prediction!

The Jazz are dead last in the West standings in the early days of the 2024/25 NBA season. The wheels already look like they are beginning to come off despite being just four games into the campaign.

A 113-96 loss to the Kings on Tuesday marked the second time in the first four games that the Jazz failed to crack the 100-point mark.

San Antonio have their franchise player in Victor Wembanyama, so the goal now is to build a competent team around him. They finished with a 22-60 record last year and have gotten off to another slow start this season.

A 105-93 away loss to one of the NBA’s best teams in the OKC Thunder marked the Spurs second straight defeat.

They’ll now have to cope with playing the second leg of a road back-to-back in the high altitude of the Delta Center, a notoriously difficult place to play on short rest.
