    OKC -12.5 vs Utah

    what is this

    also -1500, middle it with the +1025 at say +1200 to be generous...do the thunder really win this 12/13 times?

    I think OKC blows them out. Only thing I'm worried about is that's it is their first game back home after a long road trip.

    I haven't even looked at tomorrow's line yet, but if it's really OKC -12.5, then I'll definitely be taking the Jazz. The Thunder win this game, but not by 13 points. No way.

    it is 12.5 on pinnacle and juiced slightly closer to 13 than 12

    okc did just hand them a decently easy loss in utah. i'm thinking though that the line was +1 in utah less than a week ago. this is a 13.5 point adjustment, books seem to see a blow out. i just can't wrap my head around it, as much as i've seen the thunder kill it this year

    and yeah, i know thunder were on 3rd leg of b2b2b and now jazz are. still seems 13.5 is a lot of a diff in the line

    To my surprise public is on Utah. Can't remember the last time OKC wasn't a public favorite. Great time to back OKC, not to mention Utah is on the last leg of a b2b2b.

    Spreads to high for me. Although it is the third game in a row on the road for the Jazz I just wouldnt trust it.

    A well rested okc at home against a tired jazz team that just lost to no. I'll take okc by 15+.

    To be honest, you really couldn't look for a more perfect spot for the Thunder to be in:

    Utah's 3rd game in 3 days
    OKC rested
    Public on Utah

    pretty sure thunder went to utah on the last leg of a longgg road trip last week and handed utah a 14 point loss ... now jazz on b2b2b, coming off a loss to a sad 4? win hornets team.. line is right!

    thunder by double digits

    Gamblers. Listen to my message and not the bookies. The Jazz spread out the playing time so they would be ready for this game. Don't worry about the b2b2b. The Jazz are a play here.

    i made this thread with that in mind. pretty sure every single person who bets this game will be aware of what you just said. is that one game sample really worthy of a 13.5 adjustment, again given the circumstances? i really don't think so, i'm assuming you disagree

    Im a huge OKC fan mainly cause I live in Oklahoma and I agree with this 100%. I bet Jazz last night and they played like shit. It was like they were holding back and I noticed it just didnt add up. I think OKC wins by a small margin. Sad thing is they could lose straight up but i doubt it. Look for OKC to be behind in 1Q. I always bet against them in 1Q and pays off 88% of the time.

    If you look at trends of teams playing b2b2b so far, it is generally, toss-up, loss, win. This is a no play imo, but if I had to, Id take Jazz.

    yes but they have had almost four full days off so that trend does not apply so much here and this is also UTAH'S third game in a row all on the road and they had to go all out last night while trying to come back late in the game from being down some points at the half....all points to a blow out here,,, only thing is LV has adjusted the spread enough to keep the back door cover in play for the jazz..still side with ok here tho.

    The public is on the Thunder. Like you said, they are one their first game home from a long road trip. Plus I believe Utah was looking ahead the Hornet game and probably not as tired as you would think.
