Tonight you can enjoy the NBA match-up from the Northwest Division between the Utah Jazz and the Oklahoma City Thunder. The exciting part is that the playoffs are almost here, and both of these teams are not sure if they will succeed to win the ticket for the postseason. Namely, the Jazz sits in 12th position in the Western Conference with a total of 36 wins and 43 defeats. But the OKC on the other side is the 10th placed team in the West with a score of 38 wins and 42 defeats, an identical score as the 11th placed Dallas Mavericks.
So tonight’s duel will definitely be a very dramatic one in which both teams will present their best in order to win the game.
Utah Jazz
The Jazz, after beating the Celtics (118:117) and the Kings (128:120), promised a good run that could raise their chance to play into the playoffs. But unfortunately, they started a losing run of 4 defeats in a row until the Jazz won the game against the Spurs (117:128). Sadly, after this victory, the boys from Utah lost their following 3 games against the Celtics (122:114), the Nets (111:110), and the Lakers (133:135 after overtime).
So tonight they will definitely try to do better and bring joy to their fans in Salt Lake City with a victory over the Thunder.
Oklahoma City Thunder
OKC must win their last 2 games in order to remain in the 10th spot. The bad news is that after beating the Pistons (107:106), the Thunder lost their last 3 games against the Pacers (121:117), the Suns (118:128), and the Warriors (136:125).
Therefore, tonight they must do their best in order to win the game against the Jazz and be just a single step toward the finals. Their last challenger from the regular season will be the Memphis Grizzlies.
H2H Brief History
OKC faced the Jazz in the previous month twice. Back then the Thunder did a great job and won both duels against the Jazz by 130:103 and 129:119.
Verdict
We are looking forward to a very dramatic basketball match with many attractive moments till the very end of the game. The favorite for the victory will be the visiting team, the Oklahoma City Thunder due to their excellent performances against the Jazz in their recent duels.
