Trail Blazers at Thunder: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Trail Blazers 121, Thunder 117
Money line (ML)
The Trail Blazers (-300) will cost you three times your potential return in this one, and that’s risky business. The Thunder (+240) won the first meeting in Portland by a 125-122 score as a 4.5-point underdog Jan. 25, too. AVOID.

Against the spread (ATS)
The THUNDER +7.5 (-110) have covered four straight, and they’re an impressive 8-3-1 ATS across the past 12 contests. They’re also a perfect 5-0 ATS in the past five as an underdog of 6.5 or more points. Portland enters the game a little banged up, while OKC will be without Gilgeous-Alexander. Still, the Thunder are flying high after stunning the Bucks 114-109 Sunday as 11.5-point underdogs. They’ll carry over the momentum into this one to stay in contention.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 225.5 (-110) is worth a small-unit play, even though the Under is 2-0 in the past two for OKC. The Over covered in that first meeting, as the teams totaled 247 points on a line of 227. And Portland streaks in with three consecutive Over results, while seeing the Over hit in 10 of the previous 13 outings.
