The matchup vs. Utah is a positive one; when the Jazz are at home, they have allowed the most points per game in the NBA to the opposing team's starting PFs this year (24.0).The Thunder are expected to see a rise in opportunities today from sharing the court with the 2nd-speediest pace-of-play home team in the league over the last 5 games (the Utah Jazz).The Oklahoma City Thunder check in as the 2nd-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 9 games when playing away from home (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore produce new opportunities for scoring and assists).This year when they are away from home, the opposition's starting PFs have attempted 5.6 free throws per game (highest in the NBA) against the Utah Jazz, making it fairly effortless to get to the free-throw line.
