Utah Jazz vs San Antonio Spurs prediction
Though Bailey, the No. 5 pick in this year's draft, had an impressive preseason debut in which he outscored Kevin Durant, the Spurs have the advantage of continuity. A good number of their key rotation players last year are set to compete in this preseason game.
Victor Wembanyama, who earned his first All-Star selection last season, is expected to leave his imprint on both ends of the floor as the Spurs ramp up their preparations for the 2025-26 campaign. Thanks in part to Wembanyama, the Spurs are expected to win their preseason game against the Jazz on Friday.
