PASS.
There is no value on the Thunder (-1600) to win at home on Wednesday.
LEAN JAZZ +18.5 (-115).
Despit the Jazz facing many struggles, including a variety of injuries, this spread is too large given both teams’ recent performances.
The Jazz have covered in 4 of their last 6 games, including 3 of their last 4 on the road and their previous 2 games as double-digit underdogs.
The Thunder have dropped back-to-back games, both as double-digit favorites, and are just 4-6 ATS in their previous 10 games. They have failed to cover in each of their last 4 games as double-digit favorites.
Keep in mind the Thunder has won both games against the Jazz this season by 30 points.
BET OVER 241.5 (-115).
The Jazz have scored at least 114 points in 8 of their last 10 games, while allowing 123 or more in 8 of their last 10, including 3 of their last 4. They have a 22-13 Over record this season.
The Thunder have scored at least 124 points in 4 of their last 6, hitting the Over in 3 of their last 6.
