Road Weary Jazz finally Home to Face Spurs
The fans at Vivint Smart Home Arena will see the San Antonio Spurs and the Utah Jazz when they take their seats on Tuesday. The Jazz have played 10 of their past 12 games on the road. Thinking that was not enough two thirds (16) of their first 24 games have been contested in away venues.
TV: 9 p.m. ET, NBATV, FS Southwest (San Antonio), AT&T Sportsnet (Utah).
LINE: Jazz -8; O/U: 216.
San Antonio dropped back-to-back games by an average of 35 points recently. They got things back together with a 131-118 home win over the Portland Trail Blazers.
Utah finished up a three-game road swing by falling 102-100 to the Miami Heat on Sunday. The Jazz host the Houston Rockets on Thursday and the
back-to-back home games will be their first since Nov. 7 and 9.
The Spurs are still trying to find themselves and are 11-12 on the season.
Shooting guard DeMar DeRozan was on the mark with a season-high 36 points against Portland. He averaged just 14 in the two blowout loses. DeRozan has six 30-point outings this season. He is also teaming well with power forward
LaMarcus Aldridge. Aldridge had 29 points and eight rebounds against the Trail Blazers.
Marco Belinelli (neck) will likely return after a one-game absence.
The Jazz are expecting to start playing better once they can string a few home games together. They are 11-13 to start the season.
Ricky Rubio scored 23 points on 9-of-13 shooting against Miami. He averaged just 8.3 points on 7-of-28 shooting over a three-game span.
Shooting guard
Donovan Mitchell was just 8-of-24 shooting while scoring 18 points against the Heat. This was after being 50 percent or better the previous two games when he averaged 29.5 points.
The Jazz have won four of the past five meetings.
Rudy Gobert had 12 points and 18 rebounds against Miami for his 21st double-double of the campaign.
