Jazz at Thunder picks and predictions
Prediction
Thunder 123, Jazz 113
Money line
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 games.
Against the spread
LEAN JAZZ +15.5 (-115).
OKC is just 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games, including 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games and 1-3 ATS in their last 4 games home. He is just 1-5 ATS in his last 6 games as a favorite of 8.5 points or more.
The Jazz are 4-4 ATS in their last 8 games and have only lost 4 of their last 10 games by 15 or more. With Markkanen sidelined, and perhaps Collins as well, Utah will face an uphill battle, but 15.5 points is too much to bet against him.
More less
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, scoring over in 5 of its last 8 games and allowing 115 or more in 9 of its last 10 games.
