Both teams are on opposite sides of the NBA highway. The Thunder should absolutely dominate the Jazz. Not only are they fully healthy, but Utah is punting the rest of its game to help its lottery odds. OKC should put this game away by the end of the third quarter. The starters shouldn&#8217;t be asked to play in the final frame. And considering how bad Utah&#8217;s defense is, OKC should drop some video game numbers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Prediction:\u00a0Thunder 133, Jazz 107<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Get more betting analysis and predictions at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sportsbookwire.usatoday.com\/\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sportsbook Wire.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_ld_p\">Gambling involves risk.
