Thunder Against the Spread | OKC Slightly Favored Against Cavs at Home

Oklahoma City opened as a 1-point underdog, but the line quickly moved when it was announced that Kevin Love was out and Donovan Mitchell was listed as doubtful on the injury report. Without Mitchell, the Cavs lose their most dynamic scorer in an offense that already doesn’t score a lot of points. They might actually improve on the defensive end, though, which is where Cleveland really thrives. Because OKC is missing Luguentz Dort, I do think this will be a close game, but I can see OKC winning outright in the end.

The Cavaliers are without Donovan Mitchell tonight, and that makes Shai Gilgeous-Alexander the clear best player in this game, not just the arguable best player in the game. On top of that, the Cavs are playing in the second game of a back-to-back while the Thunder is coming off two days of rest. I’m not just taking OKC to cover but to win the game as well.

The Cavs are playing in the second game of a back-to-back after a 106-95 loss to the Sacramento Kings at home last night. At 16-10, Cleveland is third in the Eastern Conference, but they are dealing with some minor injuries, so they may be down a bit. Either way, this should make for a fun Saturday night matchup.

Tonight the Thunder hosts the Utah Jazz, one of the top teams in the Western Conference. The Jazz are fresh off an embarrassing loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, but they are still winners of 9 of their last 11. Donovan Mitchell is averaging 25.9 points per game, and 4 of his teammates are scoring in double digits on a nightly basis.

After going 0-3 on the road, the Oklahoma City Thunder is back in the 405 for a couple of home games. Tonight the Thunder hosts the Utah Jazz, who have had a mixed bag of success so far this season to get to 11-6. After winning 7 of their first 8 games, the Jazz lost 4 of their next 5. However, Utah has won 3 of their last 4, and they seem to be getting back on track.

The 2021-22 NBA season is upon us, and tonight, the Oklahoma City Thunder kickoff their season on the road against the Utah Jazz. The two clubs are extremely polarizing when you take a look at where they are and what their expectations are for this season.

The final road trip of the season is complete for the Oklahoma City Thunder, and now they can ride out the season at home. With just 2 games left, Thunder fans can finally rest easy knowing that the Thunder is most certainly in a good position come time for the draft lottery. Still, the games must be played, and while the Thunder isn’t concerned with winning, that’s not the case with the Utah Jazz, OKC’s opponent for tonight.

The Oklahoma City Thunder roster is getting healthier every day, but so far, it hasn’t equated to success in the form of winning. Losers of 6 straight and 9 of the last 10, winning is not at all the priority, but that doesn’t mean the Thunder can’t continue to improve and develop their young core.
