Donovan Mitchell and the Utah Jazz (39-23) will travel to Paycom Center to take on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder (20-43) in part of the NBA Sunday slate. We have you covered on everything there is to know about the matchup before they face-off.
Coming off a terrible 124-90 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, the Jazz will look to take care of business against one of the NBA’s worst teams to avoid getting caught by the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference standings for homecourt advantage in the first round.
With much of their rotation sidelined, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been doing his best to carry this Thunder team to be at least competitive amid a rebuild. Over his last five games, he’s averaging 33.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 6.4 assists with the team being 2-3 in the stretch.
In speaking of the Mavs, both teams play each other on Monday night in what will be the second night of a back-to-back for Utah. The outcome will be key in deciding the outcome of the seeding given it will be the final time these two times face off.
