The Oklahoma City Thunder will take on the Utah Jazz on Wednesday, followed by the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday in back-to-back home games.

The NBA odds already have Utah listed as a massive underdog, and that spread could continue to grow with injuries up front for the visitor. With potential holes around the hoop, center Walker Kessler is called upon to pick up the slack in both scoring and rebounding.

The Thunder (35-7) are fresh off a blowout win over the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 27 points and 10 assists in three quarters of work. Meanwhile, the Jazz (10-31) blew a 25-point lead in a brutal loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday.
