Jazz vs Thunder Preview
Utah will travel to Oklahoma City on Sunday night for a battle versus the Thunder. For the latest NBA betting trends and free NBA picks on Sunday’s game, check out our Jazz vs Thunder preview below.
Utah Looking To Get Back On Track
The Utah Jazz got absolutely embarrassed in their last game as they took on the New Orleans Pelicans and lost 124-90. This was a game that Utah is just hoping that they can flush down the drain and get back on track against the Oklahoma City Thunder. In that game, Donovan Mitchell led the scoring way for Utah, but only scored 14 points in 30 minutes.
Utah’s currently the fourth seed in the Western Conference and if Golden State keeps losing games, there is a chance that they can move into the three seed while Memphis would jump Golden State into the two seed.
On the season, Utah has the third-rated net rating, the number one ranked offense, and the number 13 ranked defense.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Continuing Hot Streak
The Oklahoma City Thunder haven’t had many bright spots this year, but one guy who has really stepped up for them and show that he has the potential to be a star in this league in the next few years ia Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
SGA is currently averaging 27.9 points, 6.4 assists, and 5.1 rebounds in his last 10 games. On the season, SGA is averaging 23.8 points per game, 5.6 assists, and 4.8 rebounds in 48 games.
Oklahoma City has the 27th ranked net rating, the 30th ranked offense, and the eighth-ranked defense.

Free NBA Picks — Jazz vs Thunder
Although it is a very high spread, I’m going to go with Utah to cover it. Utah is coming off their worst loss of the year and with the way that they were playing basketball prior to that game, I expect them to get back on track. Oklahoma City has been one of the worst teams in the NBA all season long, and they are going to have a very tough time scoring against this Utah Jazz defense.
I also expect that Donovan Mitchell is going to be playing incredible basketball on Sunday so I’m going to take him to score 25 plus points and have two plus three-pointers.
