After three straight losses, the Utah Jazz got back in the right side of the win column. On a three game winning streak, that's the Oklahoma City Thunder's next opponent as they travel to Utah to play in a tough environment. 

On Sunday, the Thunder had to grind out a win against the Toronto in two overtimes after completing a comeback. This could be how the Thunder's next matchup will go as they played the Jazz closely the last time the two teams squared off, with the Thunder winning by five points.

With a win, the Thunder would remain the No. 1 seed in the NBA by way of tiebreaker. 

Injury Report

Thunder:

Davis Bertans, OUT (Knee)

Ousmane Dieng, Available (Hip)

Isaiah Joe, OUT (Sternum)

Keyontae Johnson, OUT (G League)

Olivier Sarr, OUT (G League)

Vasilije Micic, Available (Ankle)

Cason Wallace, Available (Shoulder)

Lindy Waters, Available (Ankle)

Jalen Williams, Available (Ankle)

Jaylin Williams, Available (Achilles)

Jazz:

Taylor Hendricks, OUT (G League)

Johnny Juzang, OUT (G League)

Micah Potter, OUT (G League)

Jason Preston, OUT (G League)

Brice Sensabaugh, OUT (G League)


Outside of G League assignments, the Jazz have no injuries on their report. They're going to be fully healthy for this game, which could cause issue for a Thunder team that has a lot to unpack on the injury report. 

One positive for the report is the Jalen Williams is now questionable. He's been out, but his return would be huge for the Thunder. Now, Vasilije Micic and Cason Wallace both being questionable could be concerning given their recent positive impacts, but there should be enough guard depth to make up for the impact if need be.

Update Odds

Given the injury report and recent form of both teams, the Thunder is just a 3.5-point favorite. It helps the Jazz to be playing in Vivint Arena, where they've posted a 16-7 record this season. 

Evidently, the Thunder could be down a few players and still come away with a victory, but it will start with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who seemed to be slightly slowed down by the Raptors on Sunday.
