OKC- Have no bigs at all. Their team is Durant and Westbrook (All he can do is drive), They have decent role players in Green, Ibaka, Harden and Thabo. But honestly, if you stop Durant this team will not go far at all, but thats a big if.
Portland- Really, their bigs are either old or injured. They just traded Bayless and still have a very crowded back court and their will be players that will be displeased EX: Rudy Fernandez already.
Lets look at the match ups
D Will>Westbrook; D Will>Miller
Bell and Thabo toss up; Roy>Bell
Durant>AK; AK>Batum
Milsap>Green; Lamarcus>Milsap
Jefferson>Nenad; Jefferson>Camby
So Utah wins 3/4 match ups against OKC and one is a tie. With Portland, Utah wins 3/5. Utah's bench also seems better than both teams.
So why are the Jazz so low? Hey, if it gets the Jazz motivation I'm all for the Jazz being low and proving the haterz wrong
