That might be a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially when you consider that Kessler is playing stellar basketball right now. Check out his numbers over the past 10 games:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>12.9 PPG<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>12.4 RPG<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>76.7 FG%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>20+ pts\/reb in 8\/10 games<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In a blowout loss against the Thunder in December (when Hartenstein was healthy), Kessler racked up 17 points on 6-of-7 shooting and added 11 rebounds .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Williams over 6.5 rebounds (-118):<\/strong><\/strong> So which undersized OKC player is drawing the short straw of matching up with Kessler? That appears to be 6-foot-8 power forward Jaylin Williams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though undersized in height, Williams is listed at 250 pounds, so he&#8217;s not exactly &#8220;small&#8221; as a rebounder. And surely Kessler can&#8217;t grab all the boards under the net, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Williams has drawn into the starting lineup in three straight games due to OKC&#8217;s frontcourt injuries. He&#8217;s topped 26 minutes in back-to-back games \u2014 for the first time this season \u2014 and collected 18 rebounds in those matchups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third-year forward has cashed this bet in four of his past six games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Dort 2+ threes<\/strong> (-315):<\/strong> Sometimes you shoot and shoot, and you come up empty. That&#8217;s what happened to Dort three nights ago in a scoreless showing against the Brooklyn Nets (0-for-5 from 3-point range).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It really doesn&#8217;t happen often, though, especially given Dort&#8217;s typical shooting volume beyond the arc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Montreal native is shooting a team-high 41.7% from deep on 5.6 attempts per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dort has 2+ threes in 25\/41 games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In his past 11 games, he&#8217;s averaging 2.9 makes on 50.0% shooting beyond the arc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Utah is a great team for Dort to bounce back against. The Jazz allow the third-most 3s per game to their opponents (14.4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 3:40 p.m. ET 01\/22\/2025<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Oklahoma City Thunder are massive home favourites on Wednesday night against the woeful Utah Jazz.
