Utah Jazz vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction 2-6-24 Picks

The Oklahoma City Thunder and the Utah Jazz collide at the Delta Center on Tuesday night. Here’s a Thunder vs Jazz Prediction.

Oklahoma City Thunder

The Oklahoma City Thunder have been in great shape as they’ve won eight of their last 10 games overall and they will be aiming for a fourth straight win after outlasting the Raptors in a 135-127 double overtime win on Sunday. Josh Giddey led the team with 24 points, six rebounds and six assists, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander added 23 points with nine rebounds and 14 assists while Chet Holmgren and Luguentz Dort each scored 22 points. As a team, the Thunder shot 47 percent from the field and 23 of 63 from the 3-point line as they showed plenty of fight in this one, tying the scores at the end of the fourth quarter and overtime to send the game into double overtime where they opened with a 7-0 run to improve to 20-6 at home. The Thunder will play against the Mavericks after this game.

Utah Jazz

Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz have been in a rut lately as they’ve lost six of their last nine games overall, but they will be looking to build some momentum after routing the Bucks in a 123-108 home win over the Bucks on Sunday. Lauri Markkanen led the team with 21 points on eight of 15 shooting, Collin Sexton and Keyonte George each scored 19 points while John Collins chipped in with 15 points and 10 rebounds. As a team, the Jazz shot 48 percent from the field and 17 of 44 from the 3-point line as they looked to be in trouble when they leaked 37 points in the second quarter to trail by as many as 19 points, before they dominated the fourth quarter by 40-13 to make it look easy in the end.

Thunder vs Jazz Prediction

The Thunder are still without Jalen Williams and Tre Mann, while the Jazz are coming in with a full squad once again. The Thunder are coming into this one with plenty of momentum following their double overtime win over the Raptors on Sunday, while the Jazz were doing it tough before they snapped out of it with an impressive comeback win over the Bucks. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the Jazz were able to pull off the minor upset at home, but the Thunder are favorites for a reason as they’ve been one of the form teams in the league and I think they represent decent value at the short line here.
