Series History

The Thunder went 4-0 against the Blazers last season (2-0 at home, 2-0 on the road).

Why the Thunder Will Cover (+3.5)

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had a rough shooting night on Monday, but he still managed to impact the game, and OKC pulled out the win off his buzzer-beater. I think he has a much better game tonight, and I think OKC finds a way to slow down Portland’s three-point shooting at least marginally better than they did on Monday. As a result, don’t be surprised if OKC beats Portland for the second time in three days.

Staff Picks

Why the Game Will Hit the Over (235.5)

Like Monday’s meeting, I think we get another high-scoring affair. It’s going to tough to hit such a high total, especially with the trend of Thunder games featuring slightly lower scoring totals, but Portland is a solid offensive team, just like OKC, so don’t be surprised if this one has even more points than Monday’s game.
