*8* Total DOMINATION on UNDER Jazz/Spurs.

The San Antonio Spurs have absolutely destroyed most of their opponents in recent weeks and they're coming into this game on the back of a 103-78 demolishing of the Hawks at Atlanta Saturday. The Jazz have a solid enough D though, and I expect a low-scoring contest at AT&T Center Monday night.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. The Spurs Defense - San Antonio has held its opponents to fewer than 100 points in all but one of its last 13 games, conceding just an average of 84.4 points in that span. It's allowing opponents just 85.8 points on average at home for the season.

2. Utah's Schedule - The Jazz are always playing a low tempo and now they're off a 104-98 overtime defeat at Oklahoma City last night. They'll be looking to control the pace of the game to conserve as much energy as possible, and the under is 8-3 in the Jazz's last 11 games playing on back-to-back nights.

3. X-Factor - Utah is a .455 team for the season, and the under is 5-1 in the Spurs last six when hosting a team with a losing road record.

Selection: This is a play on UTA@SAS to go UNDER the total (8*)
