Oklahoma City at Utah

The Utah Jazz look like easy prey for the Oklahoma City Thunder, as the Jazz enter this contest at 11-25. That becomes rather deceptive, considering the Jazz started 1-14 and have become a 10-11 team since, winning three straight at home. Oklahoma City is once again without Russell Westbrook. They have won by just 2 points in Charlotte, and have lost at home to Brooklyn since he went down, so things have gotten tougher for the Thunder in his absence. The Thunder have been one of the best teams in the NBA off a loss. However, they seem to put on the brakes after a double-digit win where they are just 1-5 ATS in their last six when following a 10+ point win. The Jazz are the opposite with a 6-2 ATS mark in their last eight off a 10+ point loss in their last eight. The Thunder has Denver next, so I don't see much of a reason for a big effort here. Take the points on Utah.
