OKC Thunder versus Utah Jazz – Can home cooking alter streak?

Injuries and projected starting lineups:

Jazz projected starting lineup:

Of the elite teams, the Jazz hasn’t dealt with injury woes like many of their competitors. Moreover, they have a deep versatile roster that features three players (Rudy Gay, Joe Ingles, Jordan Clarkson) who could be starting on most clubs.

• Mike Conley  – point guard
• Donovan Mitchell – shooting guard
• Bojan Bogdanovic – small forward
• Royce O’Neal- power forward
• Rudy Gobert – center

Jazz Injuries:

• No injuries on Jazz

OKC Thunder Injuries:

• Shai Gilgeous-Alexander missed the last game with a sprained ankle and is downgraded to being out for this match (as of this posting)

History:

All-Time the Jazz and Thunder have one of the more intense rivalries having faced each other 50 total times in the regular season with OKC holding the advantage winning on 33 occasions. In the 2018 season, the six-game playoff series that witnessed Utah prevail left a bad taste in the mouths of Thunder Nation, and subsequently, these meetings take on extra focus.

Although the Jazz are the club poised to make a deep playoff run Sam Presti will be laser-focused on developing a squad that will surpass them in the coming seasons.

Last year the Jazz swept the season series of three games and took the opening night match this year to extend their win streak to four in a row.
