Premium Pick

The Utah jazz played about as good as any team in their last 30 games, but they lost their finale on the road in Portland, who has started 0-2 in the playoffs, losing both to new Orleans at home, and lost to the Thunder in game 1 by 8. The first round teams that start at 1-0 in a series, often ride the mometum to a game 2 victory as well, as these teams are 72-16 SU since the NBA playoffs began. Utah is suddenly losing their mojo after a strong finish and finding it difficult to get up to playoff speed. Oklahoma City has Westbrook, Melo, and George, arguably the 3 most seasoned all-stars in the game. Mitchell was injured for Utah last game, but will likely play, but can he be at the same level? make the play on Oklahoma City.
