Portland Trail Blazers vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction
The Thunder are obviously capable of blowing the doors off at home against a young, banged up Portland side. However, the Trail Blazers continue to compete and play hard, and it’s led to a respectable season given their circumstances. As a double-digit underdog this season, the Trail Blazers are 2-2 SU and 3-1 ATS. The underdog has covered 6 of the last 9 games between the Trail Blazers and Thunder. It’s also important to note that this isn’t the same cash cows the Thunder have been the past two seasons. OKC is just 17-16 ATS on the season. I’ll take a shot with the boatload of free buckets.
