UTA vs SAS Dream11 Prediction NBA Live, Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Utah Jazz vs San Antonio Spurs

UTA vs SAS Dream11: In the context of the NBA, the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic has reached alarming levels and it is like now seeing the repeat of the last season. In this game, the Utah Jazz takes on the San Antonio Spurs in a classic Western Conference scenario. Utah has won eight in a row and is third in Western Conference ranking while Spurs have seven more losses than wins.
Utah has once again shown that this squad is one of the elite ones in the league. The unit has been one of the top offensive charges and an excellent defensive one as well. Jazz is aiming for a deep postseason run and a foundation has been laid. But will teams like Suns and Warriors make way?
Spurs have a solid young core but winning has been tough largely due to their vulnerable defense. Still, if this is a rebuilding season then Greg Popovich must not be displeased with his young guns. The current squad indeed has a world of potential.

Host: Utah Jazz
Visitors: San Antonio Spurs
Match Timing: 18 December, @ 08:30 AM
Venue: Vivint Smart Home Arena

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Jazz: Don’t care about who the team plays
Jazz has a solid team base and one that has now played for a long time with each other. When you have the inside-outside scoring combo of Rudy Gobert and the dynamic scorer Donovan Mitchell, it opens up shooting space. When you have shooters like Bogdanovic, Conley, Clarkson, O’Neale, Gay, and Ingles, you can rain it down from the perimeter. Then you play hard defense and clamp down rebounds, you are essentially an elite team that is built to win in this tough League.

Spurs: A lot of potential
With White and Murray in the backcourt, the Spurs have two superb playmakers and that is one of the reasons why they are second in the league in terms of assists per game. The San Antonio squad has built a solid foundation with Keldon Johnson as the big Forward who is improving at a decent clip. Meanwhile, two other youngsters off the bench in Devin Vassell and Lonnie Walker, guards who have a lot of potential thus giving Spurs a sturdy Guard quartet.
