Utah Jazz vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction. Oklahoma City continue their quest for an NBA playoff spot as they visit Utah Jazz on Saturday evening. The Thunder are holding the 8th spot in the West at the moment, while Utah are 10 games behind their tonight’s opponents.

Utah Jazz are cold. They had a streak of 14 wins in 18 games because of tenacious defense that regularly held opponents under 90 points. But the thrill is gone, it’s much easier to score a 100 against Jazz these days. As Utah score 94.7 points in average this season, it’s clear they need to hold opponents under 90-91 to get the win.

Oklahoma City are a one-man team right now, they’re relying on Russell Westbrook (pictured) to do all the work. The star point guard put up seven straight double-doubles before being held to 16 points and 7 assists in Thunder’s latest defeat.

Utah Jazz and Oklahoma City Player Injuries
Utah Jazz are without guard Alec Burks who’s out for season, and forward Rodney Hood is questionable. Oklahoma City are missing their star forward Kevin Durant, and Serge Ibaka is also out, probably until the playoffs. Nick Collison and Andre Roberson are also on the disabled list.

Utah Jazz vs Oklahoma City Thunder

Utah Jazz vs Oklahoma City Thunder. Prediction and betting pick against the spread. With their offense relying on one man, Thunder could be prone to stalling against a team that plays good defense. Utah may have lost their defensive mojo of late but they are a defensive team and will be looking to limit Oklahoma City to under 100 points. Thunder are still expected to cover the -5 spread, but betting opportunities lie elsewhere. Jazz vs Thunder Pick: under 197 points. Bet at Pinnacle.
