The San Antonio Spurs travel to the Utah Jazz seeking their second win in the NBA Cup. The Spurs sit third in the West Group B whereas their winless hosts are bottom. Below is our prediction for this match.

The Jazz snapped a four-match losing run in a convincing 121-106 home win over the Knicks. They'll seek to replicate that against the Spurs and secure their first win of the In-Season Tournament.

Will Hardy’s men have been the whipping boys out West. Another defeat here and they will be eliminated from the competition. The Jazz sit second from bottom in the Western Conference, with 12 defeats from 16 outings.

The Spurs are in a rich vein of form and will arrive for this tie confident of victory. Gregg Popovich’s men have won their last three games. They beat the Jazz as well as the Thunder and Warriors in this purple patch.

Two of those wins came in the absence of star centre Victor Wembanyama. The Spurs’ leading scorer returned against the Warriors last time out and scored a game-high 25 points as they won 104-94.

San Antonio have won nine of their 17 regular season matches and sit 10th in the West. Another win here coupled with favourable results elsewhere could see them confirm their knockout place.
