We've been down this road before with Oklahoma City. The Thunder have been tremendous this season on the road and as an underdog. The pattern fits again in this matchup especially with the Jazz slipping past the Grizzlies, 121-115 in overtime, last night. That victory clinched a playoff spot in the top six for Utah.

The Thunder are 21-6 ATS in their last 27 away contests. They have covered eight of the last 10 times when getting points. 

Utah is 1-6-1 ATS the past eight times when playing without rest. The Jazz host the Suns Friday. So the backdoor should swing open if Utah were to build a big early lead.
