Thunder vs Jazz Prediction & Pick
Not only will the Thunder have Holmgren out on the court, but Jaylen Williams looks poised to give it a go on Monday. The 22-year-old took on an impactful role for Oklahoma City during his rookie year, tallying 14.1 points to go along with 4.5 rebounds per game. His presence gives OKC a huge edge.
While Utah's roster has a ton of playmakers on it, it lacks notable size. Only one player (Nick Ongenda) is listed as a center, so look for the Jazz to struggle when it comes to stopping Oklahoma City in the paint. It doesn't help that 2023 Draft picks Hendricks and Brice Sensabuagh are both banged up.
Give me an Oklahoma City team that thrived in Salt Lake City in 2022 to pick up right where it left off.
Final Score Prediction:'Thunder: 90 | Jazz: 80
Thunder vs Jazz Best Bet
I'm going to stick with the Thunder as the best bet and back them to cover a 5.5-point spread. Utah is far from healthy heading into Summer League action and didn't win a single game in Salt Lake City last year. That includes when they faced off against Oklahoma City and fell short by a score of 98-77. There's simply more talented depth on the Thunder side, which makes that the team worth trusting.
