10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK (1:00 EST TIP-OFF!)
(NBA) Utah vs. San Antonio,
Total: 227.00 | -107.00 Under
Result: Loss
The set-up: The Jazz come in off a 124-115 victory over the Grizzlies. Utah has looked better after a shaky first couple of games, as its depth and overall defensive acuity has been on full display of late. With a chance to lock up the fourth spot, clearly the last thing the Jazz will want to do is to turn this into a "track meet" with the speedier Spurs.

The pick: The Spurs come in off a crushing 132-126 loss to the Nuggets and San Antonio is now running out of time. San Antonio will have to commit to playing defense if it has any shot at gaining entry to the postseason in my opinion. I expect a slower-paced, defensive affair between these two hungry Western Conference opponents.

This is a 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the UNDER Jazz/Spurs.
