Oklahoma City is a 1.5-point road underdog in Portland at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. In the last eight games between these two teams, the Thunder are 4-4 SU and 6-2 ATS.
The Thunder added a bit of depth at the trade deadline, acquiring Taj Gibson and Doug McDermott from the Chicago Bulls. Oklahoma City has made up some ground in the standings on the heels of a 7-3 SU and 8-2 ATS run over its last 10 games, and only two games separate the No. 4 seed from the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference standings.
Playing their way out of a first round matchup against Golden State or San Antonio would do wonders for the Thunder’s chances at postseason success.
To keep making progress in the standings, the Thunder need to improve on the road. Oklahoma City is 4-11 SU and 6-9 ATS in its last 15 games on the road per the OddsShark NBA Database.
Betting Line / Total: Portland -1.5 / 220.5 Points
Trend: The Thunder are 6-9 ATS in their last 15 games on the road.
Trend: The OVER is 5-1-1 in the Thunder’s last seven games.
Portland entered the 2016-17 season with a 149-97 SU record over its last three seasons with three straight playoff berths. Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum are both producing more offense than they did last season, but the wins haven't been coming for the Trail Blazers.
The team is 24-35 SU and 23-36 ATS on the season including a current stretch of 2-7 SU and 1-8 ATS over its last eight games. The Trail Blazers are still within striking distance of the eighth and final playoff spot in the West, but they are running out of time to make up ground.
Thursday night’s total is set at 220.5 points. The OVER is 5-1-1 in Oklahoma City’s last seven games overall.
Oklahoma City has lost each of its last four games on the road and was blown out in three of those losses. If the Thunder hope to build some confidence on the road before the postseason begins, now is their chance with a three-game road trip against three non-playoff teams in Portland, Phoenix and Dallas.
