LiontipsOklahoma Thunder - Utah Jazz: betting tip (kef 1.71) and bets on the NBA match
Command Analysis
Current form
Oklahoma has experienced a rare and therefore particularly painful glitch. The home match with Charlotte on January 6 at the Paycom Center arena ended in a 97-124 defeat, and for the championship leader with a 30-7 balance, it looked almost like a cold shower. Thunder missed the start at 9:21, but they showed their character quickly and by the end of the first quarter the score was already 33:33. After that, however, serious problems began. In the second quarter, the hosts conceded 17:34, in the third — 21:32, and the usual attacking machine suddenly creaked. Shay Gilges-Alexander was the most productive with 21 points.
Current form
Utah continues to move downward. On January 6, at the Moda Center arena, the team lost to Portland with a score of 117:137 and plunged even deeper into the crisis, gaining a foothold in the lower part of the Northwest Division with a 12-23 balance and a series of four defeats in a row. After the first quarter, the Jazz lost 26:36, and by the big break the score was 57:78. Defensive failures, especially on the perimeter and with fast breaks, were repeated with frightening regularity, and by the end of the third quarter the gap had grown to 83:114. Lauri Markkanen scored 22 points, Yusuf Nurkic added 21 points and 12 rebounds.

1.77Tip and bets
Oklahoma gets the perfect chance to close an unpleasant topic on January 8th. The home meeting with Utah looks comfortable for the Thunder by all accounts, even despite the recent rout from Charlotte. The hosts are much more confident on their own court, and the difference in class with Jazz, who are stuck in a series of defeats and are frankly crumbling in defense, is too noticeable.
Our prediction is that Oklahoma will win by a handicap of (-15.5) points in 1.71
