Isaiah Joe is the third double-digit scorer and Ajay Mitchell is grabbing 3.6 rebounds. The Oklahoma City Thunder are shooting 33.3 percent from beyond the arc and 85.6 percent from the free throw line. The Oklahoma City Thunder are allowing 36.2 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 47 rebounds per game.
The Portland Trail Blazers beat the Nuggets, lost to the Lakers, and they play the Heat next. The Trail Blazers have won 3 of their last 4 games.
The Portland Trail Blazers are averaging 121.3 points on 45.1 percent shooting and allowing 116.8 points on 50 percent shooting.

The Trail Blazers will be without Damian Lillard, Blake Wesley, Matisse Thybulle, and Scoot Henderson.
The Thunder will be without Thomas Sorber, Kenrich Williams, Nikola Topic, Jalen Williams, and Chet Holmgren. Jaylin Williams, Ajay Mitchell, and Luguentz Dort is questionable.
The Thunder will continue to get the benefit of the doubt from oddsmakers and for good reason, as they continue to rack up the wins. The problem is the Thunder aren’t covering the way they have the last two seasons. OKC is also still banged up and on the end of a back-to-back. The Trail Blazers are a feisty young team that will be up for this game and despite the bad recent loss to the Lakers, they’re 5-2 ATS on the season. Potential tired legs from an undermanned OKC squad? I’ll grab the points with the Trail Blazers.
