Oklahoma City Thunder Betting Preview
The Oklahoma City Thunder have been on a historic run as they’ve reeled off 19 wins from their first 20 games. They will be looking to build on their current 11-game win streak after sneaking past the red-hot Suns in a 123-119 win on Friday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the team with 37 points and eight assists on 10 of 20 shooting, Chet Holmgren added 23 points on eight of 13 shooting while Cason Wallace chipped in with 14 points on six of nine shooting. As a team, the Thunder shot 48 percent from the field and 15 of 32 from the 3-point line as they caught fire with 38 points in the third quarter to lead by as many as 15 points. This proved to be just enough to hold off a late rally from the Suns who cut the lead to just one point with 2:27 remaining.
Portland Trail Blazers Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Portland Trail Blazers have been in a slump as they’ve lost eight of their last 11 games overall and they will be hoping for a better result after getting routed by the Spurs in a 115-102 loss on Wednesday.

As a team, the Trail Blazers shot just 43 percent from the field and nine of 36 from the 3-point line. This was good enough to stay within striking distance until the fourth quarter where they Trail Blazers went cold and scored just 16 points to lose by double digits in the end. The Trail Blazers had a sloppy game with the ball as they committed 18 turnovers and they needed more from Tounami Camara who shot just four of 14 for his 10 points.

Trail Blazers vs Thunder Prediction
The Thunder are still missing Isaiah Hartenstein and Nikola Topic, while the Trail Blazers have ruled out Jrue Holiday, Scoot Henderson and Matisse Thybulle once again. The Thunder are coming into this game fresh off a narrow win over the Suns, but it’s been complete blowouts almost every other night for them. In contrast, the Trail Blazers have been hit hard by injuries and they haven’t been able to keep their heads above water despite the occasional big game from Deni Avdija who had 37 points in his last outing. The Thunder failed to cover in their last game, but the line has dropped to something more palatable, so I will take the Thunder to run past the Trail Blazers and get the win and cover on the road.
