Series History
The Thunder is 2-0 against the Blazers so far this season (2-0 at home, 0-0 on the road).
Why the Thunder Will Cover (+3.5)
I’m not quite sure why OKC is the underdog here. Chalk it up to being on the road, I guess. The Thunder has already defeated the Blazers twice so far, and after yesterday’s crazy trade deadline, the Blazers are probably slightly less prepared for this game than OKC is. I like the Thunder to at least cover the small spread, but if Luguentz Dort is ready to go, then I like OKC to win.
Staff Picks
Why the Game Will NOT Hit the Over (239.5)
Both of these teams score a lot of points, but in light of the roster shake ups—even though they’re not anything crazy—I think the point total will end up just short of hitting the prediction.
