Almost all professional sports bettors will agree that the best type of team to back is a focused favorite. We sure seem to have that scenario on Wednesday, when the Oklahoma City Thunder host the Utah Jazz as 17.5-point favorites with a total of 240.5 points at FanDuel.

OKC's next two games are against the Memphis Grizzlies and Miami Heat, both teams in the play-in range of the current standings. After that, though, is yet another clash with the San Antonio Spurs team that humbled the defending champs three times in December. There would be no better way to show the team is back on track.
