Thunder vs. Trailblazers

Team records:
Oklahoma City: 2-2 SU, 1-3 ATS
Portland: 4-1 SU, 3-1-1 ATS

Time: Thursday 10:30 ET
Venue: Rose Garden, Portland
Spread: Blazers -5.5
Over/Under: 192.5

Contrasting styles will be on display in the nightcap when the Blazers try to slow down the Thunder. Portland will do anything within the confines of Oregon state law to keep this game at a slow pace and let Brandon Roy or Wes Matthews create only when the shot clock dictates it. Oklahoma City is spending the early hours of the season working on its defensive rotations.

Nick Collison is out with an injury, and second-year forward James Harden has been so weak defensively that his minutes have melted.

Best parlay bet: Both New York and Chicago are well-rested for this one, and the Bulls are a solid favorites based partially on the fact that they have won their two home games by a combined total of 22 points. They weren’t threatened by either Detroit or Portland. Teams with new players trying to sort things out early in the season don’t often play well on the road, so Chicago deserves a good look here.

Oklahoma City got taken out by the Clippers in LA Wednesday night as Kevin Durant was held to 16 and the Thunder shot just 37 percent from the floor. OKC just doesn’t look right, and is giving up way too many points.

At 192.5 the Over deserves a look here.
