Total: 232.00 | -110.00 Over
Result: Loss
These teams have met three times this season. The combined total of those games was 241, 263 and 254. So why is this total so low?
Well, Utah's leading scorer, Lauri Markkanen, is out. So is Jordan Clarkson, the Jazz's third-leading scorer.
But I'll take that tradeoff to get a total this low.
The Jazz rank 27th defensively. They are last in 3-point defense. Oklahoma City is the No. 3 scoring team in the league and is the top-shooting 3-point team.
It's not a good matchup for Utah, which is obvious by this lopsided point spread.
The Thunder should have plenty of energy having been idle since Saturday.
The Jazz have played the Timberwolves in their last two games. Minnesota is the top defensive team in the NBA. But if you discount those two games, the Jazz have averaged 119.3 points in their last six games when they didn't have Markkanen.
