Spurs -3.5 LOCKED (x3)
I don't care about any line movement or public betting on this one. Utah lost 5 straight road games, are coming back home for the first game, on back to back. Utah's plane won't leave LA til about 12AM and it's a 3 hour flight which means they will land in Utah at 3AM and probably not be home and asleep til 4AM to then have to wake up with no preparation or gameplan to play the best team in the NBA with the best road record. Did I mention that Utah's players don't even know the plays (read quote below)?? They got blown out by LA, PHI, BOS. They lost by 8 to NJ and by 7 to Wash. I really highly doubt they get back home and somehow magically play great on back to back against the Spurs, a team they already lost to by double digits at home. Spurs had a day of rest and are 16-9-2 ATS with 1 day of rest. Spurs have NEVER been favored in Utah. The books know what's up.
“I think at times one or two of the guys out on the court do not know what we are running,”. Deron Williams also said more than once this season that his team does not know the plays, while guard Raja Bell has pointed out Utah’s tendency to resort to one-on-one ball once the team’s offense breaks down. Utah is really falling apart, you would think at the very least they would be well coached but that has not been the case this year.
