Series History
The Thunder is 1-0 against the Jazz so far this season (1-0 at home, 0-0 on the road).
Why the Thunder Will Cover (-3.5)
All signs point to OKC stumbling in this one. The Jazz are riding a 6-game winning streak, and their only loss in the last 10 games was to the Celtics in Boston. Meanwhile, the Thunder has lost two straight on the road, albeit to the Lakers and the Clippers. Regardless of trends, I’m taking the Thunder to cover, primarily because when they have yet to streak in a downward manner for very long. OKC has yet to lose three consecutive games this season, and I don’t think that happens tonight, even if the Jazz ARE playing really good basketball.
Why the Game Will Hit the Over (244.5)
I say this every game, but OKC has a powerful offense. They’re one of the top-scoring teams in the NBA. Utah, on the other hand, is kind of middle of the road. Or at least they WERE. In the last 10 games, the Jazz have averaged 128 points, the most in the league, and almost 4 points ahead of the second team in that same span, which just happens to be OKC. Because of how both of these teams are trending on the scoreboard lately, I’m feeling pretty good about the over.
