ANALYSIS

Our pick is supported by Utah's league-worst defense (30th, 127 PPG allowed) that recently surrendered 137 points to Portland, creating a perfect environment for the Over. We expect an aggressive scoring response from an OKC unit (2nd in PPG) looking to snap a two-game skid following a blowout loss to Charlotte, especially with the Thunder missing defensive stopper Alex Caruso while Jazz stars Markkanen and George remain in elite offensive form.
Key Data
Pts Allowed/Poss: 1.22, Defensive Efficiency: 29th, Offensive Success Rate: 54%

OUTCOME

Thunder 129 - Jazz 125
Utah rested three starters, leaving a massive talent gap. OKC's starters played deep into the third quarter, shooting 55% from the field and generating 28 points off turnovers to easily cover the massive spread.
