Oklahoma City Thunder vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction

Don’t look now, but the Portland Trail Blazers have won and covered each of their last four games. I’m still not buying it. The Trail Blazers are still a well below-average team at both ends of the floor, and I don’t trust them, especially against good teams. The Oklahoma City Thunder are 29-13-3 ATS on the season, and their cover percentage of over 70 percent is the best in the NBA. Also, the Thunder have covered 15 of their last 20 games as a double-digit favorite. As I’ve said before, the Thunder are one of those teams you blindly back until the tickets stop cashing. That hasn’t happened yet. Give me the Thunder in a comfortable road victory.
