When the Oklahoma City Thunder lost Kevin Durant to Golden State, it seemed as though their chase to the top was coming to an abrupt end. They addressed the issue by acquiring Carmelo Anthony, and Paul George to give themselves a big-3 of their own. Much was anticipated coming into this season. The trio has yet to figure things out and the Thunder have been a breakeven team, but expectations of a star-filled roster have made this team extremely overvalued. The Thunder are 3-13-1 ATS in their last 17 games, and perhaps falling even further from expectations. Utah is a team that has a lot of injuries, but they defend better than most NBA teams, and I like the small bundle here v.s an Oklahoma City team failing to meet high expectations. Take the points on Utah.
