Thunder Against the Spread | Short-Handed OKC a Slight Favorite Against Jazz On the Road

Oklahoma City has the lengthiest injury report that they have had all season. Most of the injuries appear to be minor and is likely due to the fact that the trade deadline is Thursday at 2 PM CT, meaning Thunder GM Sam Presti could be getting ready to make a move or two. While I’m not convinced that’s the case, it definitely is impacting who is available tonight. Fortunately for OKC, most of the guys that will likely miss are rotation players, so the Thunder can make do with what they have. Jalen Williams might even make his return from a sprained right ankle. So, even with Utah at relatively full strength, I have faith in the Thunder core to take care of business on the road and cover the small spread.
