Utah Jazz - Oklahoma City Thunder Basketball prediction

Early pick, but odds will drop. Rodney Hood suffered an injury and while it's not considered serious, he was not at full health before this one, so I expect him to miss at least this game. Without Hood, I see no way Jazz could keep up with OKC scoring wise, even playing the best defense they can.

OKC may still lack chemistry, but being individually very capable, should beat shorthanded Jazz even on a bad night. They also rested while Jazz just finished the game.

Handicap up to -4.0 playable, too.
