Premium Pick

The Utah Jazz got the split they needed opening the series at Oklahoma City and took care of business at home in Game 3. They will be looking to hold serve, retain home court advantage, and take control of the series with a Game 4 win. Perhaps the most notable part of the series is the fact that Ricky Rubio is winning the battle of the point guards vs. Russell Westbrook. Westbrrok is averaging just 20 points per game, but is making 5.3 turnovers and shooting just 36% in the series; and just 27% from 3. The guard duo of the Jazz has hit the boards hard with Mitchell and Rubio combining for 17 a game. Gobert is controlling the paint, and he and Favors have grabbed 20 rebounds a game, as well. This big four has dominated thus far. Make the play on Utah as my NBA Game of the Month.
