The Utah Jazz coasted to 115-102 triumph on Saturday to take a 2-1 series lead in the series. The Thunder now need a victory here in Game 4 to avoid going back to Oklahoma City facing an elimination game on Wednesday, but they're just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points and I think Utah will roll to another relatively comfortable victory here Monday night.

The Jazz might not have talented players like Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony, but they make up for it with arguably the best defense in the league and as a bonus Ricky Rubio went off for 26 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in Game 3.

Throughout the series, Utah has outscored the Thunder 140-108 in the paint and also owns a 37-25 advantage in offensive rebounds plus a 49-36 edge in second-chance points.

OKC is likely to come out with purpose and determination, but so will the home team and I expect Utah to prove to be too strong again.

10* play on Utah Jazz.
