Free Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Utah Jazz NBA Prediction:
Nothing helps a team set the reset button like a literal vacation. Salt Lake City hosted the 2023 All-Star Weekend, but the Jazz have been off for a week and look to bounce back from a three-game losing streak against OKC.
Down To the Wire
Oklahoma City-Utah should prove to be one of the more competitive matchups Thursday night. As two-point underdogs, it feels entirely possible that OKC gets a win against the spread while the Jazz secure a tight win straight up.
That’s where my money’s going Thursday.
With that in mind, give Utah a one-point victory in the first contest of the year between the Jazz and Thunder.
