What to Know
The Oklahoma City Thunder have enjoyed the comforts of home their last four games, but now they must head out on the road. They and the Utah Jazz will face off at 9 p.m. ET April 6 at Vivint Arena without much rest after finishing up games yesterday. The Thunder haven’t won a game against Utah since Aug. 1 of 2020, but they’ll be looking to end the drought Wednesday.
Things were close when Oklahoma City and the Portland Trail Blazers clashed on Tuesday, but Oklahoma City ultimately edged out the opposition 98-94. The victory came about thanks to a strong surge after the third quarter to overcome an 82-67 deficit. Oklahoma City can attribute much of their success to small forward Jaylen Hoard, who dropped a double-double on 24 points and 21 boards.
Meanwhile, it may have taken overtime to finish the job, but Utah ultimately got the result they were hoping for on Tuesday with a 121-115 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. The score was all tied up at the break 50-50, but the Jazz were the better team in the second half. Their success was spearheaded by the efforts of center Rudy Gobert, who posted a double-double on 22 points and 21 rebounds, and point guard Jordan Clarkson, who had 22 points and five assists in addition to five rebounds. That makes it six consecutive games in which Gobert has had at least 11 rebounds.
The Thunder have to know they’ll be fighting an uphill battle given the 17 point spread they are up against. The odds have been favorable for them against the spread on the road this season, even if it’s been tough sledding overall. They are 27-11 ATS in away games but only 49-27-3 all in all.
The wins brought Oklahoma City up to 24-55 and the Jazz to 47-32. Oklahoma City is 9-14 after wins this season, Utah 29-17.
