OKC Thunder vs. Utah Jazz: Updated NBA Injury Report, Betting Odds

The Oklahoma City Thunder are taking on the Utah Jazz in a game that marks the first contest back from the NBA All-Star Break. As the OKC Thunder only have 28 games left this season, the Thunder are healthier than it has ever been.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are taking on the Utah Jazz in the first game back from the NBA All-Star Break. The Thunder are healthier than they have ever been this season heading into this contest and the Jazz see a key piece of its rotation missing.

The OKC Thunder will only be without rookies Ajay Mitchell and Nikola Topic. The latter has been tapped out for the season since draft day and Mitchell is recovering from a toe injury that sees a 10-to-12 week re-evaluation window that dates back to the middle of January.

With the Oklahoma City Thunder this healthy, Mark Daigneault's rotations - and even starting lineup - will be under the microscope in what should be a lackluster game.

For the Jazz, missing Sexton is a massive loss against this Oklahoma City team - Utah is already short on high-end ball handlers and should be harrassed into a ton of turnovers against this Thunder team.
