Oklahoma City Thunder -6.5

The Trail Blazers have lost two of their last three games both straight-up and against the spread after coming up short against Dallas on Sunday in a 102-101 road loss as three-point favorites. The total stayed UNDER 219.5 points in that game after going OVER in Portland’s previous six outings. It is now 33-22 SU overall with a sketchy 10-14 record on the road. The Trail Blazers have also failed to cover in 14 of those 24 road games.

Damian Lillard put up 30 points in Sunday’s loss, but a breakdown in Portland’s fourth-quarter defense blew a 15-point lead. Lillard continues to lead the team in both points (26.2) and assists (6.4). The Trail Blazers are averaging 113.1 points a game, which is ranked 10th in the NBA. At the other end of the court, they are allowing an average of 110.2 points, which is 13th in the league.

Oklahoma City has been one of the hottest teams in the Western Conference since mid-January with a 10 SU wins in its last 11 games while going 9-2 ATS during the same span. The Thunder picked up an impressive road win on Saturday night by beating Houston 117-111 as 2.5-point underdogs at VietBet. They return home for this game at 36-19 overall with a SU record of 19-7 at Chesapeake Energy Arena this season. Their record ATS at home is 15-11.

Paul George went off for 45 points in Saturday’s win. He continues to lead the way in scoring with 28.3 PPG. Russell Westbrook extended his streak of triple-doubles to 10 with 21 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists against the Rockets. OKC comes into this game with a 2-0 season series lead against Portland both SU and ATS. It is ranked fifth in the NBA in scoring with 115.2 PPG.

Going against the Thunder right now does not make all that much sense, especially when they are playing at home. Lay the points at Elite-rated VietBet and take OKC both SU and ATS in this one.
