How to watch: Thunder vs. Hornets

Advice and prediction

The Jazz are a playoff-caliber team coming off a painful loss to the Timberwolves. Oklahoma City looked good in the first game, but it would take a massive effort to defeat Utah.

As long as Rudy Gobert is anchoring the defense, the Jazz will be difficult to score on. The Thunder spaced the floor well against Charlotte, but this will be a different beast. Oklahoma City will need more consistency from its bench in particular if it is to win.

I wouldn’t bet on the Thunder winning or covering the spread. Utah is too good. If I’m betting on the over-under, I would take the under as well; Oklahoma City’s defense looked good in the first game, and the Jazz’s is consistently excellent.

Prediction: Jazz 112, Thunder 98
