Oklahoma City Thunder | Game #14 Preview: Portland Trail Blazers

Just a day later, the Thunder is in Portland on Sunday night where they will take on the Trail Blazers. The Blazers are going through it right now as they sit near the bottom of the Western Conference standings with a 3-9 record, but when you see their long injury report, you can understand why. OKC has had Portland’s number for the last two seasons with 8 straight wins against the Blazers, but 7 of those wins have been decided by single digits.

Oklahoma City Thunder | Game #13 Preview: Golden State Warriors

It’s not even been 48 hours since the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Golden State warriors 128-109, and now it’s time to do it all over again. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey had solid all-around games, and Isaiah Joe had the hot hand as he knocked down 7-of-7 threes, but just because OKC won big on Thursday doesn’t mean a repeat is bound to happen tonight.

Thunder Against the Spread | OKC a Slight Favorite Yet Again Against Golden State

Not much has changed in the last couple of days since the Thunder handily defeated the Warriors 128-109. Cason Wallace is questionable for OKC with a sprained right shoulder, but the Warriors are still missing Steph Curry (strained right knee) and Draymond Green (suspension) as well as Gary Payton II (strained left foot).

Oklahoma City Thunder | Game #12 Preview: Golden State Warriors

Now the Thunder turns their attention to a 3-game road trip that begins with two games against the Golden State Warriors in a three-day span. The Warriors are in a rough stretch of 4 straight losses, and it’s probably not going to get any better any time soon as they are without Steph Curry due to a sprained knee. Draymond Green is also out for the next 5 games as he serves a suspension for his involvement in a brawl with the Minnesota Timberwolves where Green placed Rudy Gobert in a chokehold.

Thunder Against the Spread | Take OKC to Cover on the Road Against the Warriors

The Warriors are missing Steph Curry to injury and Draymond Green to suspension. They’re a very different team without those two guys, and it’s not a very good one. Add to it that Golden State is on a 4-game losing streak all while OKC is playing some really good basketball, and the Thunder should be able to pick up a decent win on the road before facing the Warriors again on Saturday.

Thunder Against the Spread | No SGA Against Warriors Could be Trouble for OKC

OKC will be without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (sprained left knee), and that’s enough cause for concern against any team, let alone the Warriors. While I do think the other guys can step up and keep it to within single digits, I’m not so sure about keeping it to within 5.

Oklahoma City Thunder | Game #6 Preview: Golden State Warriors

Late in the game Wednesday night, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander hyperextended his knee, resulting in a sprain that will keep him out of tonight’s game as the Thunder open up the NBA In-Season Tournament at home against the Golden State Warriors. Missing Shai is a big hit for OKC, but it will give the Thunder an opportunity to try to figure some things out without having to rely on their superstar. Meanwhile, the Warriors are at full strength and currently tied for second in the West with a 4-1 record.

Thunder Against the Spread | OKC A Near Double-Digit Dog at Golden State

OKC’s odds of clinching the 10th seed for the play-in spot are still pretty good. Dallas continues to lose, and it’s a good thing, too, because OKC can’t seem to beat even the teams they should be beating. With that in mind, I’m hesitant to think the Thunder even has a chance tonight, but I think they’re due for a cover, if not an outright win. The game is really going to come down to OKC playing solid defense, which they haven’t done a lot of lately until the second half against the Suns on Sunday. If the Thunder can at least slow down the Warriors, I like their chances at covering the spread.
