Thunder at Trail Blazers picks and predictions

Prediction

Thunder 118, Trail Blazers 108

Moneyline

PASS.

The Thunder (-260) are the better side, but at -260, there's no value in taking the road favorite.

Against the spread

BET THUNDER -7 (-108).

Oklahoma City is 7-1 ATS over its last 8 games and is 2-0 ATS over its last 2 games as a favorite. It is also 2-0 ATS in games that it closed as a favorite of 5 or more.

The Blazers have lost back-to-back home games after returning from a 3-game road trip, failing to cover as underdogs of 9.5 or more points in both outings. Portland is without a key weapon in Brogdon and should struggle offensively.

Take THUNDER -7 (-108).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 224.5 (-110).

The Thunder have scored at least 120 points in 3 straight games. They have one of the most efficient and high-paced offenses in the NBA. OKC ranks 9th in offensive rating and 6th in pace.

With Portland 27th in turnover rate, expect OKC to have ample opportunities to get out and run. It is 2-0 O/U in its last 2 games and 5-3 O/U in its last 8. Portland is 2-3 O/U in its last 5 games.

Take OVER 224.5 (-110).
