What to Know

The Spurs will be in front of their home fans on Tuesday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-court advantage. They will finish 2023 at home by hosting the Utah Jazz at 8:00 p.m. ET at Frost Bank Center. The Spurs are limping into the matchup on a four-game losing streak.

The oddsmakers set the bar high, but the Spurs and the Mavericks didn't disappoint and broke past the 243 point over/under on Saturday. San Antonio suffered a grim 144-119 defeat to Dallas. The Spurs were down 117-86 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from.

Meanwhile, Utah was able to grind out a solid win over Toronto on Saturday, taking the game 126-119. The win was all the more spectacular given the Jazz were down 17 points with 0:15 left in the second quarter.

The Jazz's success was spearheaded by the efforts of Jordan Clarkson, who scored 30 points along with six assists, and Lauri Markkanen, who scored 30 points along with nine rebounds and five assists. Markkanen continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played.

San Antonio bumped their record down to 4-24 with that loss, which was their 11th straight on the road. Those losses could be blamed on the team's lackluster offensive performance across that stretch, as they only averaged 104.5 points per game. As for Utah, they are on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games, which provided a nice bump to their 12-18 record this season.

The Spurs came up short against the Jazz in their previous matchup back in March, falling 128-117. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of the Jazz's Talen Horton-Tucker, who went 6 for 11 from beyond the arc en route to 41 points and 5 assists. Now that the Spurs know the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? Check CBSSports.com after the match to find out.
