Tip and bets
Utah won't be motivated for the game. Snyder's men have already clinched a play-off spot. Jazzmen are unlikely to tear the Thunder apart. Oklahoma's reserve players will try to make a name of themselves, they were looking great in recent matches. We don't think that visitors will lose by a wide margin.

Oklahoma is one of the most boring teams in the league. Thunder are averaging 103,2 points per game on away matches. We are not expecting a high-scoring match today.
