Oklahoma City Thunder at Utah Jazz
When: Monday, April 23, 10:30 p.m. ET
Where: Vivint Smart Home Arena, Salt Lake City, Utah
Betting Line / Total: Utah -5.5 / 209 Points
Utah Jazz
The Jazz climbed up to the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference with their strong play over the second half of the season, shaking off a 19-28 SU start to the campaign to finish the regular season with a 48-34 SU and 43-38-1 ATS record
Utah got an absolute star this offseason in rookie shooting guard Donovan Mitchell, and his star is shining even brighter so far this postseason as the 21-year-old is averaging 25.7 points per game in this series. With Mitchell leading the way on offense and a defense that ranks best in the NBA at 99.8 points per game against, the Jazz are proving to be a tough out in 2018.
In their last six games as a betting favorite of 10 points or less at home, the Jazz are a perfect 6-0 SU and ATS per the OddsShark NBA Database.
Oklahoma City Thunder
Oklahoma City’s entire season has been built around big swings as the Thunder have had seven win streaks of three games or more and five losing streaks of three games or more.
After winning Game 1 to improve to 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS over their last four games, the Thunder went on to drop Game 2 102-95 as 3.5-point favorites at home and now find themselves in a 1-2 series hole. Oklahoma City is 2-4 SU and ATS in its last six games as a road underdog.
Monday night’s total is set at 209 points. The UNDER is 18-7-1 in Oklahoma City’s last 26 games as a road dog.
This series is still far from over with Game 5 back in Oklahoma City. But if Utah is able to hold on to its home court advantage with another win in Game 4, all of the pressure will be on the Thunder moving forward.
