Oklahoma City Thunder vs Utah Jazz 4/6/2022 Betting Odds

Team	SP/RL	TOTAL	ML
Oklahoma City Thunder	+17.5 (-110)	223.5 o (-110)	+1200
Utah Jazz	-17.5 (-110)	223.5 u (-110)	-2400

The Oklahoma City Thunder are nearly at the bottom of the NBA Western Conference standings and they are just above the Houston Rockets by 4.5 games with their record at 20-60. Losing is much better for the Thunder right now to solidify their lottery odds but they have won their past two games. Josh Giddey has been a wonderful pickup for the Thunder and they hope to pair him up with another big man from the top three picks in the upcoming NBA draft. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues to be the team’s best scoring option along with Darius Bazley and Lou Dort.

The Utah Jazz‘s late slip-up cost them to go down to 5th place in the NBA Western Conference standings. They are now two games below the Dallas Mavericks and will look to avoid going down even further with the Denver Nuggets below them by just half a game. The Jazz have a healthy core of players ready to go for a good push before the season ends. Shooter Bojan Bogdanovic is back on the roster and this team wishes to win all of their games before the season ends. Jordan Clarkson and Donovan Mitchell have been a great source of offense for the team in the past matches.
