Prediction

The Utah Jazz are one of the best teams in the NBA and are fighting for a better seed to the playoffs. The Thunder just want the season to be over but they have one of the best records against the spread and it's because of these kind of spreads they get. 16.5 points are way too many for the Utah Jazz to cover even at home. Utah haven't covered the spread in their last 8 games, take the Thunder with the points.

PICK: Thunder +16.5 (-110)
