The Spurs have won 11 straight, while the Jazz have lost 11 in a row. Nothing has to give. Expect more of the same as the teams meet in Salt Lake City.

My Spurs vs. Jazz prediction doesn't expect either trend to change in a good old-fashioned mismatch, as the San Antonio Spurs, on an 11-game win streak, play at the Utah Jazz, who have lost 11 in a row.

Here are my best bets and NBA picks for Sunday, Nov. 15.

TOP PICK
Spurs vs Jazz prediction: Spurs -15.5

The spread is steep, but I'd stick with the San Antonio Spurs up to -17.5. The moneyline is far too lopsided to consider.

San Antonio has faced three other spreads as big as this during its 11-game winning streak and covered two of them, including beating the Utah Jazz by 22 just under two weeks ago. The Spurs are 3-2 ATS against spreads over 15 during the win streak. Utah has covered just three spreads during its current 11-game losing streak.

The Jazz will also be down a man. Lauri Markkanen was already sidelined with a broken hand, but now Jaxson Hayes, who had 12 points in the first half of the last game, hurt his knee and has been ruled out for Sunday.

Covers COVERS INTEL: The Spurs have carved up the Jazz in both games they've played already this season. San Antonio has assisted on two-thirds of its baskets in the two wins. The Jazz, meanwhile, have leaned on the outside shot, hitting 44% more threes than their season average. It wasn't enough to overcome the Spurs' advantage inside. Against the NBA's best 2-point shot defense, Utah shot less than 40% inside the arc.

Spurs vs Jazz combo

Neither team pushes the pace. The Jazz are 14th in tempo and the Spurs 19th. Combined, they've gone Over just nine times in their 26 games this season and just eight times in the 22 combined games of their respective streaks. The regulation game between the two was Under by more than 10 points, and even their overtime game went Under.

San Antonio has the league's second-best first-half scoring average and the third-highest halftime scoring margin. Utah is 28th in both categories. The first clash between the teams in Utah this season went to overtime, and the Spurs don't want to let the hapless Jazz hang around again. Look for the Spurs to build a big lead early and roll.

  • Spurs -156.5

Spurs vs Jazz player props

Spurs player prop: Victor Wembanyama Over 11.5 rebounds

With Hayes and Markkanen out, the Jazz will be down a pair of 7-footers against Victor Wembanyama, who totaled 25 rebounds and 48 points in the first two games.

The injured Jazz bigs combined for 31 points and 13 boards the first time they played San Antonio, and Hayes had 11 boards without Markkanen in the second game. Wemby is averaging 12.5 rebounds in November and has 11 or more in five of seven games this month.

Jazz player prop: Darryn Peterson Over 19.5 points

The rookie wing has strung together five straight 20-point games, averaging 24.4 over that span. Utah will look to avoid going inside and try to catch fire from three. Darryn Peterson has taken 44 threes over the last five games, hitting at a 38.6% clip. 

He's gone 5-for-12 from three in the previous two games against the Spurs. He's also hitting .446 from the field in November and taking three more shots from the field on average this month. Almost all of that increase has come from beyond the arc.
