Thunder vs Trail Blazers predictions, picks
Justin Martinez: OKC 120, Portland 107
Just like its most recent matchup with OKC, which was a 122-95 road loss on Nov. 23, Portland will be without a true point guard. It won’t have Jrue Holiday, Scoot Henderson or Blake Wesley. That’ll make it difficult for the Trail Blazers to run their offense, and so will the recent return of All-Defensive forward Jalen Williams. I don’t see Portland keeping up on the scoreboard with OKC, which ranks third in the NBA in points per game (122.2). Give me the Thunder on the road.
