The Spurs held Utah to 97 points in their last meeting, and Dylan Harper grabbed seven defensive rebounds. San Antonio has now won 11 straight and gets a third look at a Jazz team that will be without starting center Jaxson Hayes.
If you see the Spurs extending that streak, Harper’s rebounds give you a way to follow how they finish defensive possessions. On the other end, Darryn Peterson has already shown he can take the ball away from San Antonio even when Utah is chasing the game.

Dylan Harper over 4.5 rebounds
All five of Harper’s rebounds in the overtime win at Utah came on defense. So did all seven in the 22-point win in the rematch. When Victor Wembanyama steps up to contest a shot, watch how often Harper gets back into the paint to collect the miss and get the Spurs moving upcourt.
Getting to five has been slightly more common in Spurs wins than across Harper’s season, and four of those winning covers landed right on five. He had three boards in 25 minutes against Golden State, so a lopsided win can still leave him short. Harper and Keldon Johnson have the same nine-of-11 win split at 4.5 rebounds, with Harper at the lighter price.
Darryn Peterson to record a steal
Peterson had one steal in the first Spurs game and three in the second. In the rematch, he picked off a Wembanyama pass and scored a floater on the next possession. That’s how this can fit a San Antonio win. The Spurs can control the game over four quarters while Peterson still gets a chance to jump a pass.
He’s recorded a steal in 10 of 12 Utah losses and has five straight games with one or more, including two against Houston on Friday. The difference from his overall record comes from Utah’s only win, when he went without a steal. Six of the 10 loss covers ended with exactly one. That matters at −231, where you’re paying for the lower target on a play that may only come once.
