Oklahoma City Thunder vs Utah Jazz Prediction

I know the Jazz are awful and aren’t trying to win with most of their roster on the injury report. The Thunder are also the best cover team in the NBA. However, a double-digit line is ludicrous when you consider the Thunder are sitting nearly their entire roster. The Thunder aren’t playing anybody with the best record in the league wrapped up, and to still be this big of a favorite is crazy. This is going to be a fun battle between guys who don’t get many NBA minutes. I have to grab the points with the Jazz. This line makes zero sense to me.
