Jazz vs. Thunder Prediction & Pick

Both of these teams are stumbling to the finish line. The Thunder have lost three in a row and six of their last eight, while the Jazz have also dropped three straight and seven of their last eight.

One of these teams is going to turn things around with a win, though, and we expect it to be OKC. The Thunder are the better team and have a +0.7 point differential on average, so they've been a bit unlucky this year. Utah has a -0.7 average point difference, however, suggesting its losing record is accurate.

The Thunder have the upper hand in the season series so far, winning each of their last two meetings by double digits. The Jazz haven't gotten much of a boost from their home crowd lately, either, losing four straight home games.

OKC has more talent and will prove that again on Thursday in a close, high-scoring game.

Final Score Prediction: Thunder: 123 | Jazz: 120

Jazz vs. Thunder Best Bet

There should be a ton of points in this game as both offenses are among the best in the NBA. The Thunder rank fifth in points per game (117.5) while the Jazz are right behind them at sixth (117.3). Both defenses are pretty shaky as well, with OKC giving up the 10th-most points per game (116.8) and Utah allowing the sixth-most (118.0).

Take the Over and watch the points pile up in a good old-fashioned shootout.

Bet: Over 239.5 Points (-110)
