Use Spring RestTemplate to parse json from https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2018-nba-predictions/data.json

The solution is

RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
restTemplate.setRequestFactory(new HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory());

The HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory supports gzip encoding
