Jazz vs Thunder Predictions

The Utah Jazz and Oklahoma City Thunder are both teams that have made it to the NBA Finals in their past. This season, they look to recreate some of that magic, with a win in this game against one another serving as a possible stepping stone to reaching that goal. In this edition of NBA picks, we look at Jazz vs Thunder and provide our best bet for this clash of two great Western Conference franchises.

_{This game will be played at 9:00 PM ET at Vivint Arena}

Why bet the Under:

✅ The point spread in this game is a massive 17 points, which is too much to touch with the Jazz, but also not enough to justify playing the Thunder. Instead, in what could be a blowout, we will expect the Jazz to rely heavily on their reserves late in this game in a move that should help keep the total down somewhat.

✅ In addition to the potential blowout, the Utah Jazz could also be without some of their key players before this contest starts. Jordan Clarkson is dealing with an ankle injury, while Mike Conley is dealing with hamstring issues. Both players missed Monday’s game, and could be held out against the Oklahoma City Thunder also.

✅ The Oklahoma City Thunder average 105 points per game, which is the worst mark in the Western Conference. Against the top team in the conference in the Utah Jazz, OKC is going to have trouble putting up points here.

When Utah Jazz vs Oklahoma City Thunder games are set to take place in the NBA, we are there with predictions on those contests. We use a series of handicapping methods in pro basketball games like this one to deliver the best possible predictions in the sport. Most of those predictions come in the sport’s major betting markets, the spread, total and moneyline.

Jazz vs Thunder Against the Spread Predictions

Betting on the Utah Jazz vs Oklahoma City Thunder against the spread is a matter of predicting whether or not the team that is favored will win by a large enough margin to cover the spread. In the NBA, teams can have off nights or great nights, with plenty of room in between. That can make betting against the favorite a difficult ask, even if the Oklahoma City Thunder or Utah Jazz are dangerous as underdogs.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Jazz Over/Under Betting

The over/under betting market asks bettors to predict whether the total combined score of each Utah Jazz vs Oklahoma City Thunder game will go over or under the total set by bookmakers. Whether or not the total scoring in a game will go over or under the total depends on a series of stats for each team. Stats such as pace of play and how good teach team is at shooting the ball from two and three-point range are vital toward making these predictions.

Utah Jazz vs Thunder Moneyline Predictions

Another way to make predictions on Jazz Thunder games is to bet on the moneyline. In the moneyline market, bettors are wagering only on whether the Utah Jazz or Oklahoma City Thunder will win each game against one another. In the NBA, any team can win on any given night, especially when two sides with histories like the Jazz and Thunder get together. Understanding stats is important in this market as well, but understanding the motivations of each team in each game is even bigger.
