#5 Prediction
Utah Jazz might as well be the giant killers in the NBA right now, having defeated many big teams in the recent weeks. However, Quin Snyder's side might just fail to do this in a seven-game series.

For OKC, they have backup options on both ends of the field to come to the fore in case one fails to turn up. Thus, the 2012 NBA Finalists are well rounded in all departments.

Utah, on their end, are too reliant on Donovan Mitchell to score their points and on Rudy Gobert for their stops. In today's age, where hundreds of hours of video footage of players' performances are available, it would take a maximum of two games to decipher a player if plans are executed correctly.
Let us not forget the fact that good offense is always more effective than good defense. While OKC are considerably ahead in the former department, they aren't much behind in the latter.
Utah Jazz have done enough for the rest of the league to "Take Note" of them but it's time for OKC to "Thunder Up". Hence, I predict a win for the Oklahoma City Thunder inside six games.
