Preview:
Portland have been a major disappointment so far this season, winning only 6 of their first 18 games. OKC have been slightly better, but their 6-10 record is nothing to write home about.
Portland opened as 3-point favourites, but a ton of early action has pushed this line out to 3.5. Despite cashing with the Blazers last time out, I’m actually going to fade them here and take the underdog.
The main reason for this is that it’s a terrible spot for Portland. They’ve just concluded a gruelling 6-game road trip and this is their first game back home. Especially travelling coast to coast, that first game almost feels like a road game with the travel involved.
Put simply, they’ve also not been anywhere near where pre-season expectations where. Their lack of depth at the forward positions has been painfully exposed and a guy like Gallinari could have a field day here. Their Center rotation is also very questionable, potentially opening things up for Steven Adams.
Although their record has been poor, their underlying numbers suggest this OKC team isn’t all that bad. They’ve been very frisky in a lot of games this season and done well against below average sides.
Odds:
Tip: Oklahoma City Thunder at $2.28
