Indian Cowboy 11/5
4 Unit Play. Take Over 201.5 between the San Antonio Spurs @ Utah Jazz (Thursday @ 10:30pm est). The last four times these two teams have met, the contest has gone over. Obviously, this stretches back to last year when the Spurs did not have Richard Jefferson as an added scoring option. Now, with him, this team is even more potent on offense. Heck, Jefferson comes off his first big game as a Spur with 22 points in the big win over the Kings at home as the Spurs covered the -16.5 spread. The Spurs did not play well against the Bulls in their last road contest scoring just 85 points. I don't forsee that today. I see the Spurs playing very well as they are getting more used to Jefferson in the lineup and have pop with Manu leading the charge from the bench. Utah comes off an ugly game against Dallas where they fell short 85-96 and they come off a home loss to Houston as well. The Houston game was totaled at roughly the same and the game finished at 209 points. I look for the Jazz to play much better offensively at home coming off back to back losses, the Spurs to continue to play well offensively with Jefferson in the lineup as this game likely goes over the posted total. There was a quick uptick in the total when it was released and with the public on the under by a 2:1 margin, indeed I think the over is the play as the Over is 6-1 when the Spurs are favored lately and the Over is 10-3 when the Jazz play a team with a straight up winning record.
Good luck,
IC
