OKC had a late matchup with the Clippers last night in LA, but they took care of business early enough to allow starters some rest for at least a good chunk of the fourth quarter. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander didn’t play a minute of the final period, and I think that little extra rest will pay dividends in tonight’s second game of a back-to-back on the road. Portland appears to be exceeding expectations early, but I don’t see them maintaining that energy against the reigning NBA Champs. I’m taking the Thunder to cover.
