Series History
The Thunder has not played the Jazz so far this season, but OKC went 3-1 against Utah last season (2-0 at home, 1-1 on the road).
Why the Thunder Will Cover (-12.5)
The Jazz have lost 11 of their 15 losses by double digits with 10 being by 14 points or more. Meanwhile the Thunder has won 8 games by at least 12 points. I think the final score will be really close to the line, but based on how both of these teams have played lately, I’m taking the home team to win by a large margin.
Why the Game Will Hit the Over (233.5)
A common downfall for any basketball team at any level is to let up on defense after gaining a demanding lead. I think the Thunder is going to blow the Jazz out tonight, but I also think Utah will be able to score enough points to help the point total going over the expected amount.
