Portland Trail Blazers vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction

The Trail Blazers are in a slump and too banged up to believe they can compete with the Thunder in their current form. OKC keeps winning and while it’s not covering the way it has in the past two seasons, it has covered 6 of its last 10 games. The Thunder have also covered 15 of their last 22 games as a double-digit favorite. These spots are where OKC has thrived the most over the years. When oddsmakers predict a Thunder beat down, it usually happens. This is also a revenge spot, as Portland is the only team to beat the Thunder this season. I’ll lay the points.
