OKC Hosts Jazz in Friday Betting on NBA Games ESPN Action!

Utah Jazz vs. Oklahoma City Thunder

A clear difference between Utah and the rest of the NBA is their superior defense.  Few teams can match the Jazz when it comes to the back end of the court.  More emphatically it is that defense that has made Utah profitable with recent betting on NBA Games.  Along the same lines few teams have been as profitable as the Oklahoma City Thunder.  Moreover, OKC has been strong in recent games and on their home court.  Of course, a star tandem of Paul George and Russell Westbrook will add to most any profit margin.

Jazz vs. Thunder TV Coverage: ESPN

Oklahoma City Thunder

Few teams have been in better recent form than Oklahoma City.  As an example, the Thunder have covered the spread in seven of their last nine games.  Under the total has hit in three of their last four games.  As a result, the Thunder are now 37-20 straight up, 33-24 against the spread, and 30-27 over the total.  In turn OKC has NBA rankings of fifth for scoring offense and 12th for points allowed.

Utah Jazz

By contrast the Jazz have also been making money for gamblers.  Utah has paid in six of their last nine outings.  Over the total has hit in five of their last seven games. Owing to that is a record of 32-25 straight up, 29-26-2 vs. the odds, and 28-28-1 on totals.  Utah holds the sixth playoff spot in the Western Conference.  In turn the Jazz rank 20th for scoring offense but fourth for points allowed.

Stats to Consider

Utah has been in their best form of the season as a road dog.  As an example, the Jazz have lost just two of their last six vs. the odds getting points away from home.  Four of their last six in that role went under the total.  Along the same lines Oklahoma City has been a strong betting on NBA Games value as a home chalk.    Five payouts in their last seven in that role makes the point.  Also, six of the last eight OKC home favorite games went over the total.

Team vs. Team

Head to head Oklahoma City has ruled the sportsbook cashier’s cage in their matchup with Utah.  In fact, the Thunder have paid in four straight games with the Jazz.  And three of those four games stayed under the number.  Chesapeake Energy Arena has proven to be a deadly place for the Jazz to visit.  Utah has come away with the cash in just four of their last 18 games at Oklahoma City.  Four of the last six in this matchup at OKC went under the total.

Matchup to Watch

Initially the head to head dominance of this series by Oklahoma City is a betting on NBA Games matchup advantage.  In the same way the Thunder has been strong as a home chalk.  Additionally, Paul George (28.7 points per game) and Russell Westbrook (21.7 points per game) make for a dominant OKC duo.
