Paycom Center will host tonight’s NBA matchup between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Utah Jazz. OKC (30-7) lead the Western Conference standings, while the Jazz (12-23) are in 12th place. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have not been at their best of late, having split their last 10 games, following back-to-back losses to the Suns and, shockingly, the Hornets (124-97) on Monday.
OKC endured uncharacteristically cold shooting and defensive lapses against Charlotte, though such issues have been rare, and we are expecting significant improvement in those aspects here.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues to pull the strings, averaging 31.6 PPG this season, while he is now also the clear front-runner for the MVP award, following the injury to Nikola Jokic.
Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz have been terrible this season. They have now lost eight of their last 10 games and four in a row following a 137-117 drubbing at the hands of the Blazers on Monday.
The Jazz have barely played a lick of defence during their losing streak, and many believe that they are largely unfazed by losses, as their aim is to secure a better position in the upcoming NBA Draft.
Utah are 4-12 on the road. They have met OKC twice this season and lost both games by 30+ points.

Our Oklahoma City Thunder vs Utah Jazz Prediction
The Oklahoma City Thunder have already shown that they can blow the doors off the Jazz, having trounced them by 30+ points twice already this season, most recently last month in Utah.
The champs have not been firing on all cylinders of late, though, and enter this match following back-to-back losses, which lessens our confidence in them covering this massive line. However, they will be determined to get back to winning ways, and we fancy SGA to lead the charge against a woeful Jazz defence. Our Oklahoma City Thunder vs Utah Jazz prediction is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander over 30.5 points.
If your team in the Oklahoma City Thunder and Utah Jazz game takes a 20-point lead, you win!
If you want to place a bet on the moneyline in the Oklahoma City Thunder vs Utah Jazz game, then bet365 is the place to do it. If the team that you have bet on takes a 20-point lead in the game, then bet365 will pay your bet out as a winner. If your team goes on to lose, you are still a winner.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
