A well-rested San Antonio Spurs team opens a two-game trip tonight at EnergySolutions Arena, where they’ll face a Utah Jazz team off to its worst start in seven seasons.

It should be no surprise then that NBA betting lines have the Spurs listed as 2.5-point road favorites.

In their last game in Utah, Manu Ginobili scored 10 of his 13 points in the fourth quarter, including a 6-of-6 effort at the foul line in the final 24 seconds, as San Antonio snapped a four-game slide in Salt Lake City.

Jazz point guard Deron Williams, who leads the team with 22.3 points per game and 8.8 assists, averaged 22.0 and 11.5 in two games versus the Spurs last season. Williams missed the 119-94 loss in San Antonio on Nov. 21 with a left ankle injury.

The Spurs have won four straight and 29 of 35 against the Jazz.
