Tom Oldfield<\/a> 22+ years betting experience<\/p>\n \n Updated: \u2022 4 min read<\/p>\n The Thunder and Blazers square off for the second straight night, and OKC’s defense holds the key to avenging yesterday’s loss.<\/p>\n Photo By – Reuters Connect. Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein.<\/p>\n The Oklahoma City Thunder’s championship DNA is being tested to the limit with this season’s injury crisis, but they’re still 1.5-point favorites as they face the Portland Trail Blazers at Moda Center for the second straight night.<\/p>\n While Portland’s second-half fireworks tipped the scales yesterday, my Thunder vs. Trail Blazers predictions expect a response from OKC here, powered by a more balanced outing from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.<\/p>\n Take a closer look at this Wednesday, Nov. 11 battle with my free NBA picks<\/a> before the action tips off at 10 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n \u00a0TOP PICK Playable up to 57% or at -1.5.<\/p>\n No matter whether their own shots are falling, the\u00a0Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a> can usually hang their hat on their defense. That wasn’t the case last night against a barrage of Portland Trail Blazers<\/a> 3-pointers, but OKC is holding opponents to just 41% shooting this year (the best mark in the league), and I’m backing the visitors’ defense to hit back here.<\/p>\n Look for some offensive counters, too. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander<\/a> forced some tough shots in the decisive third quarter last night, and a little more playmaking should open up lanes for Ajay Mitchell<\/a> and Jared McCain<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Thunder had won four in a row heading into yesterday, and they were 34-7 SU as road favorites last season. Meanwhile, the Blazers were blown out on the second night of their last back-to-back set, and this quick turnaround is rough for their veteran guards.<\/p>\n Enjoying Covers content? Add us as a preferred source on your Google account This combo has a superstar flavor around the moneyline pick with the 8-3 Thunder. OKC was\u00a015-6 SU after a loss last season.<\/p>\n Film study from last night’s loss should nudge SGA to lean into his passing tonight, so I’m taking the Over on this assists + rebounds line. Shai has gone past this number in four of his last five contests, and the visitors need to hunt mismatches here rather than going at Portland’s best defenders.<\/p>\n Deni Avdija<\/a> leads the Blazers in assists, and he’s dished 8+ dimes in three of his past four outings. His drive-and-kick style can create daylight for Portland shooters, even with the Thunder likely to stick tighter to shooters in this rematch, and his playmaking can ease Damian Lillard<\/a>‘s workload in this back-to-back spot.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Thunder vs Trail Blazers combo<\/p>\n Thunder moneyline Thunder vs Trail Blazers player props Isaiah Hartenstein<\/a> is carrying a bigger role on the glass in Chet Holmgren’s absence, and he’s grabbed 10+ boards in six of his last nine outings.<\/p>\n With the Blazers’ up-tempo style (eighth in pace) and all the 3-pointers in their shot diet, Hartenstein should rack up rebounds here, especially in lineups where he’s the lone big man, and I’d play this up to 56%.<\/p>\n He’s also a threat to vacuum up OKC misses, with five offensive rebounds across his past two contests, and pick-and-roll actions with SGA can leave Hartenstein matched up against a smaller defender.<\/p>\n Trail Blazers player prop: Donovan Clingan Over 10.5 rebounds<\/p>\n Portland is thriving on the glass thanks to Donovan Clingan<\/a>‘s presence in the paint, posting a 71% defensive rebounding rate (fifth-best in the NBA).<\/p>\n Clingan is averaging 11.6 RPG in November, and he mopped up 13 boards in last night’s win. With Hartenstein and Aday Mara unlikely to punish the Blazers from the perimeter, Clingan can sit back in drop coverage and stay within easy rebounding range.<\/p>\n With this back-to-back set prompting some tired shooting, I’d play this up to 11.5 at a better price.<\/p>\n Thunder vs Trail Blazers odds<\/p>\n For help understanding probabilities, see our\u00a0odds calculator<\/a>.<\/p>\n Spread: Thunder -1.5 | Trail Blazers +1.5 For the full slate of NBA matchups<\/a>, check out our NBA odds<\/a> board!<\/p>\n Thunder vs Trail Blazers trend<\/p>\n The Under is 7-3 in the Thunder’s last 10 games.
