Oklahoma City Thunder vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction
The Oklahoma City Thunder are obviously capable of blowing the doors off given the gap in talent, and they’ve covered 5 of their last 6 games as double-digit favorites. However, the Portland Trail Blazers have been sneaky competitive up to this point, which includes beating the Clippers and Pelicans. The Trail Blazers are also 3-1-1 ATS on the season. It’s still a small sample size, but the Trail Blazers will have value in the big underdog role if this continues. At home, I’ll take a shot with the free points.
