Tonight the Thunder hosts Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers, who are 17-13 on the season and 6th in the Western Conference. The Blazers have won 6 of their last 8 games, but two have come against teams outside of playoff contention and two were against the Timberwolves, who are just at 10th in the standings.

You pretty much have to believe Oklahoma City can win this game to pick them to cover. Oklahoma City doesn’t want to win this game! The line is too close to even for me to take the Thunder here. I would absolutely be tempted if there were three more points added to that spread.

Look, it’s been nothing but bad for Oklahoma City recently as the team has entered full-on tank mode to close out the season. Over the last two games OKC has lost by a combined 85 points but I’m still crazy enough to tell you that there’s hope tonight. The reason why is that Detroit seems to be in the same bad shape as the Thunder. This is the first time on the season that the Pistons have been a road favorite so there’s that. Also, the Thunder are 7-2 this season when they are 1.5 to 4.5 underdogs. What that tells us is that OKC is pretty good when matched up against a similar team.

The Oklahoma City Thunder is coming off their worst lost of the season—a 133-85 decision to the Portland Trail Blazers—and their worst two-game stretch of the season—2 losses by a combined 85 points. Tonight should offer a more reasonable competition as the Thunder takes on the Detroit Pistons at home.
