Oklahoma City at Utah

Premium Pick

Utah, at 29-16, has become a solid playoff team. They are, however, not playing to the lofty lines the odds makers have saddled them with. They are 1-6 in their last seven games, but are just 5-12 ATS over their last 17 games. Oklahoma City has lived and died with the performance of Russell Westbrook. They are playing well above the line at 10-6 ATS in their last 16. The Thunder are coming into this game off a loss, and that has been a very solid spot for them. In fact, they own an NBA best 171-122-6 ATS mark in their last 299 games off a loss, and they are 55-35 ATS in this role if getting four or more points. Tough to go against those numbers. Make the play on Oklahoma City.
