- The Thunder are 1-6 SU and ATS in their last seven games after consecutive wins.
- The Jazz are 5-1 ATS in their last six games vs divisional opponents.

Star center Rudy Gobert returned after an 11-game absence due to a leg injury and collected 10 rebounds and two blocks in only 21 minutes of work.
Oklahoma City loves facing Utah at home, as the Thunder have won 11 straight in OKC vs the Jazz. The Thunder are coming off back-to-back triumphs in which big man Steven Adams averaged 23 points. The veteran is 19-for-24 from the floor during the stretch and scored a career-best 27 on 11-of-11 shooting in Friday’s victory over Minnesota.
