The Oklahoma City Thunder escaped Memphis with a 118-112 win over the Grizzlies on Saturday, and despite the rough the game, the Thunder are trending in the right direction as the regular season continues to wind down. With just 15 games to go, OKC is healthy and winners of 12 of their last 15. The Thunder look to continue their success tonight as they host the ailing Utah Jazz.

If OKC wants to get back in the win column, they’re going to have to figure out a way to slow down the Jazz on offense, particularly Lauri Markkanen, who is averaging 27.2 points on 54-50-92 shooting splits. SGA hasn’t played well the last couple of games, possibly because of dealing with a sprained knee, but he’s not listed on the injury report, so it’s not a good excuse regardless. If Shai isn’t hitting shots, he is going to need to figure out a way to rely more on his teammates. Either way, the Thunder has the talent and the depth to take care of the Jazz in Utah, and tonight’s matchup should be a fun one.

OKC and Utah are moving in two different directions right now. While both squads are in a rebuilding phase, the Thunder is very clearly moving straight up with theirs, while the Jazz might have to weather the storm a bit. After a hot start to the season, Utah has fizzled out a bit, and it’s probably not going to get much better through the end of the season. I’m honestly not sure why OKC is the underdog in this one, but I’m picking them to win straight up, regardless of where this game is played.

The Oklahoma City Thunder snapped their 5-game winning streak in a big way on Thursday night when they dominated the short-handed Brooklyn Nets on the road 130-109. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander popped off for 33 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 assists; and Luguentz Dort added 27 points while shooting 6-for-10 from downtown. Tonight the Thunder is back in OKC for the lone home game in a 7-game stretch as they host the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Tonight, the Thunder takes on the Chicago Bulls in the first game of a 4-game road trip. The Bulls are just 17-20 on the season, but at 9th in the Eastern Conference standings, they are in position to make a push for the playoffs. OKC is short-handed once again, but like we tend to say pretty much every night around here, don’t count the Thunder out, especially with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on the floor.

Tonight, the Thunder hosts the Chicago Bulls, who defeated the Thunder 114-112 in Chicago just 10 days ago. OKC had no business losing that game, and the Bulls are still one of the worst teams in the league, so the Thunder should take care of business early tonight rather than let Chicago hang around and make a game of it.
