Jazz at Thunder picks and predictions
Prediction
Thunder 123, Jazz 113
Moneyline
PASS.
There is no value on the Thunder (-1100), who are 7-3 in their last 10 games, to beat the Jazz, who are 2-8 in their last 10.
Against the spread
LEAN JAZZ +15.5 (-115).
OKC is just 2-7 ATS in its last 9 games, including 1-6 ATS in its last 7 and 1-3 ATS in its last 4 at home. It is just 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games as a favorite of 8.5 or more points.
The Jazz are 4-4 ATS in their last 8 games and have only lost 4 of their last 10 by 15 or more. With Markkanen sidelined, and possibly Collins too, Utah will face an uphill battle, but 15.5 points is too many to bet against it.
Over/Under
BET OVER 232.5 (-105).
The Jazz have an Over record of 37-29-2 this season, while the Thunder’s is 38-28-1.
Utah has scored 117 or more points with the Over hitting in 5 of its last 8 games and allowed 115 or more in 9 of its last 10.
Oklahoma City has hit the Over in back-to-back games and scored 118 or more points in 3 of its last 4. It has allowed 112 or more points in each of its last 3 games and 6 of its last 9.
