What to know about the Thunder
Even though the Warriors scored an imposing 136 points on Friday, the Thunder still came out on top. Oklahoma City narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past Golden State 138-136. Jalen Williams and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander were among the main playmakers for OKC as the former scored 28 points to go along with five rebounds and three steals, while the latter scored 38 points with five assists and five rebounds.
OKC is an elite shooting team, leading the NBA in free throw percentage, ranking second in 3-point percentage and ranking third in overall field goal percentage. It is also very active defensively, placing in the top five in both steals per game and blocks per game. However, the Thunder have failed to cover in two of their last three home games, which follows a stretch in which they were 7-1 ATS at home. Luguentz Dort (ankle) is questionable for Monday.

What to know about the Jazz
Meanwhile, it's hard to win when your three-point shooting is a whole 15.1% worse than the opposition, a fact the Jazz found out the hard way on Friday. They took a 117-103 hit to the loss column at the hands of Los Angeles. Despite the defeat, the Jazz got a solid performance out of John Collins, who dropped a double-double on 20 points and 13 rebounds.
Utah was without leading scorer Lauri Markkanen (hamstring) in that game, and he will be out again on Monday, as will center Walker Kessler (foot). The Jazz are 4-3 ATS without Markkanen and also 4-3 ATS without Kessler, but this will be the first game in which both are sidelined this season. Without the two 7-footers, all Jazz players on the court will need to crash the glass to maintain the team's ranking as the top offensive rebounding team in the NBA. See which team to pick here.
