Series History

The Thunder is 3-0 against the Blazers so far this season (2-0 at home, 1-0 on the road).

Why the Thunder Will Cover (-9.5)

OKC must win this game at all costs. Portland is severely depleted, and the Thunder is as close to full-strength as they have been all season. OKC hasn’t been favored by this much in a long time, but I’m anticipating a large margin of victory.

Why the Game Will Hit the Over (232)

This game SHOULD be a blowout, but I still expect plenty of points to be scored. OKC needs to get up by a lot early and cruise to a big win, so I expect them to lock in on defense initially. Still, the Thunder should score plenty to make up for the deficit that Portland likely won’t be able to score.
