Oklahoma City @ Utah
What to Know
The Oklahoma City Thunder haven’t won a matchup against the Utah Jazz since Aug. 1 of last year, but they’ll be looking to end the drought on Wednesday. The Thunder and Utah are opening their 2021-2022 seasons against one another at 9 p.m. ET at Vivint Arena. Last year was nothing to brag about for Oklahoma City (22-50), so the team is looking forward to a new start. On the other hand, Utah is coming off of a 52-20 season with hopes of advancing further than the second round of the playoffs, where they were eliminated by the Los Angeles Clippers 131-119 in game six.
A couple last-season stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Oklahoma City could only manage to knock down 44.10% of their shots, making them second worst in the league in field goal percentage. Utah’s defense has more to brag about, as they they held their opponents to a field goal percentage of 44.70%, good for second in the league.
Since the experts predict a defeat, the Thunder will need to dig deep. Perhaps they’ll be able to flip the script and come out with a big victory.
