Premium Pick

Utah will be in a foul mood after blowing a 25-point lead in Game 5 and allowing the Thunder to stay alive in the series. Neither team shot particularly well with the Jazz finishing with a .407 field goal percentage compared to .438 for Oklahoma City. The game barely went UNDER and six of the last nine meetings overall have gone UNDER and eight of the last 10 at Utah have stayed UNDER. The Jazz are 11-5 ATS their last 16 games with one day of rest and it has covered four of its last five after allowing at least 100 points its previous game. The Thunder is also 3-8 ATS its last 11 games against an opponent that allowed 100-plus points its previous game.  Also, Utah is 19-9 UNDER its last 28 games against teams with winning records.  Obviously, the Jazz know that the Thunder and Russell Westbrook can go on a massive scoring run and will be focused on defense from the start. Take the Jazz for the game and play the first half UNDER.
