Jazz at Thunder picks and predictions
Prediction
Thunder 114, Jazz 110
Moneyline
AVOID.
This line suggests that Vegas thinks this game will be a lot closer than I do with OKC missing a lot of players due to injury. I could easily see either team winning so I would avoid this bet.
Against the spread
LEAN THUNDER -1.5 (-105).
Utah is 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 road games, but OKC is 12-4-1 ATS in the last 17 overall meetings with the Jazz and 18-7-1 in the last 26 meetings in Oklahoma City.
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 231.5 (-112).
The Under is 5-0 in Utah’s last 5 overall and 4-0 when playing an opponent that allowed 100+ points in the previous game. The Under is also 9-3 in the last 12 meetings overall. The Over is hot for OKC right now but the Under is still the safer bet.
