Both teams have succumbed to many traps lately. Anything could happen.

I expect a loss. Which means they might win. Everytime I expect a loss they win, and everytime I expect win they lose.

Huge challenge for Exum. I really hope he stays healthy tonight. Exum could slow Westbrook down, but Ingles will struggle with PG13 and Adams has been good against the Jazz. He has developed a remarkably solid hook that not even Rudy will stop.

I expect them to dig in and dare the Jazz to shoot. Other than Ingles and Korver i dont think they fear anyone from outside, and htey have some long defenders who can close out pretty good.

Overall i think it'll depend on Mitchell, Ingles and/or Korver getting hot - if noone goes for 30+ the Jazz will lose. If Westbrook or PG13 catch fire theres also little chance they can be stopped.

No. Doesn't matter how I bet or what the odds are the universe will make sure I lose somehow. That's just how bad my luck is. :lol:


Speaking of betting, what are the chances Exum can finish the season and playoffs uninjured?

There are a few teams ahead of OKC I'd rather not face, topping the list are GSW and Houston.

Good defense, but jazz can’t score
