Jazz vs. Thunder Odds & Betting Predictions - March 21, 2024

The Oklahoma City thunder are a heavy favorite tonight against the Utah Jazz. One player that has a fairly advantageous match up is Chet Holmgren. Part of why I like Chet is that he presents a matchup difficulty for the Jazz. If Walker Kessler is in what Chet can do in spacing floor becomes very difficult for Utah to align their defense against. If John Collins is in then it stresses Collins as a defender, which is not exactly something he has known for. In three Matchup against this season, Chet has 15+ points in each of them but the key is he’s taking a couple more 3s in those games. On the season he’s averaging 4.3 per games but against Utah he’s taken 3, 6, and 6. Utah has one of the worst 3 point defenses in the league and Chet’s ability to fill it up from long range will help his scoring ceiling tonight. I expect Chet Holmgren to exceed 15.5 Points.
