OKC Thunder @ UTA Jazz Tips

OKC Thunder continue to set the pace and remain top of the table. They have now won fourteen games in a row. UTA Jazz are down in eleventh, and the last time they welcomed OKC Thunder, they lost.

Utah Jazz look capable of defeating OKC Thunder at home. They have shown strong form in recent games and are likely to control the tempo. I expect the Jazz to take the win in a competitive matchup.

When they played each other last month, OKC hammered the Jazz by 32 points. In two of their three away games at Utah this year, they won by 34 and 23. I am tipping the Thunder to strike and beat Utah by more than eleven points.

Jazz covering a +9.5 point handicap seems very plausible. Even if OKC tries to keep the game close, Utah should stay within the margin and possibly extend their lead, making this handicap a solid choice.
