<h2>
New Orleans Pelicans at Oklahoma City Thunder Overview:<br />
</h2>
<p>
The Utah Jazz are the team running the show in the Northwest Division, not Oklahoma City or Portland. Defense is the Jazz’s forte as they own the best scoring defense in the NBA and a much improved record compared to the 2015-16 campaign. The Jazz are a virtual lock for the playoffs but they have not taken their foot off the gas and nonetheless have Oklahoma City nipping at their heels despite going 7-3 in their last ten outings. The Thunder have won their last three in a row, coming off a beat down of the New Orleans Pelicans, Sunday night.

Utah Jazz at Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction Feb 28/2017
The stock in Oklahoma City continues to rise with each win they acquire. This contest is a game of significance for both teams in that Oklahoma City can inch ever close to the Jazz in the Northwest Division race with a win here. With this fixture transpiring in Oklahoma City, the assumption here is that the Thunder will certainly be successful in doing so. When you back this up with the fact that OKC has asserted themselves recently in this series in particular, this seems even more likely. However, Utah’s sole win in the previous six meetings occurred earlier this season in Salt Lake City where the Jazz would thrash the Thunder at home. The Jazz would follow this up with a two-point loss at OKC in January. Bottom line, this is not the same Jazz team of old OKC has teed off on. This team is rugged and nasty on the defensive side of things and given the fact Oklahoma City has always been an offense-first club, the Thunder better be prepared for a fight this evening. Don’t be shocked if the Jazz win yet again.
