Utah Jazz @ Oklahoma City Thunder (-3)
The Jazz are coming off of a 95-87 loss to the Bucks and haven’t lost back to back games in over two months. The jazz are 24-7 over their past 31 games, and they look to hold off the surging Thunder winners of their last 4 and 16 of 19 and are just 1.5 games back of the Jazz for the 4th spot in the West.
The Thunder have won both games against the Jazz this season, including an 87-86 victory in the most recent meeting New Years eve at the Ford Center. Durant finished with 31 points and Nick Collison hit two clutch free throws in the win.
Deron Williams, who is averaging 18.5 points during the season, has scored just 24 in the two losses to Oklahoma City.
My Pick: Thunder (-3)
Both teams are entering this contest hot as they combined to go 40-10 over their last 50 contests combined. The Thunder though, have Kevin Durant, and hes posting MVP type numbers this season. You also got to give the edge here to the home team, as the Jazz are just 17-15 away from home.
Overall Record: 1-1
