However, with the Lakers struggling big time in the Bubble, a 4th seed wouldn’t be so bad. And it seems like Jazz want it that way, as most of their first team would sit out tonight’s game vs Spurs.
While there are a few injury concerns for their main players, they have also opted to rest a few.
Jazz Injury Report:
Mike Conley – OUT (right knee soreness)
Rudy Gobert – OUT (rest)
Donovan Mitchell – OUT (left peroneal strain)
Royce O’Neale – OUT (right calf soreness)
Nigel Williams-Goss – OUT (left ankle sprain)

San Antonio Spurs’ chances of making the playoffs are hanging by a thread. They need to win this game against the Jazz to make it into the play-in tournament. Last game, they lost 126-132 to the Nuggets. While they have been in there and there about in games, the Spurs need to activate playoff mode now in order to even have the slightest chance to make it to the play in tournament.

Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz seems to have gotten back to winnings ways. They will definitely be looking to cement their position as the Rockets are close on their tail. A win here against Utah Jazz is exactly what they need.
With most of their stars rested, Joe Ingles and the reserves will have to shoulder a lot of responsibility, if they are to come out with a win tonight.

San Antonio Spurs
The San Antonio Spurs bench has provided plenty of reinforcements this season. They will have to prove their mettle once more. With key Utah players rested, they could probably come away with a win here if they are aggressive. Rudy Gay provided 24 points from the bench against the Nuggets. DeMar DeRozan has also averaged 22 points this season.
With most of the Jazz players sitting out this game, this should be a walk in the park for the highly talented Spurs side However, funnier things have happened in this sport.
Predicted lineup: Dejounte Murray, Derrick White, Lonnie Walker IV, DeMar DeRozan, Jakob Poeltl
