Here’s why I’m backing OKC ATS in my Thunder Blazers free pick & gambling prediction for this matchup.
Thunder vs. Blazers Gameday
OKC travels to Portland on November 10th for an NBA matchup at Moda Center. Tipoff is scheduled for 11:00 ET, with both teams eager to jump up the standings ladder.
Despite missing three starters, the Thunder are proving they have the best depth in the Association. They added to that depth on the weekend with a trade to acquire wing Nique Clifford from Sacramento.
Per John Schuhmann: Despite the injuries, the Thunder are one of five teams with only two losses. And they’re looking dominant again, having beaten the Grizzlies and Wizards by a total of 70 points over the weekend.
Portland continues to play well with their bevy of guards and are quickly becoming an NBA League Pass must-watch.

Thunder vs. Blazers Key Matchup
With so many Thunder players out, the emphasis on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will increase, but he’ll need help, which should come from Ajay Mitchell.
Mark Daigneault may also look to utilize his incredible depth up front, and despite Holmgren’s absence, Isaiah Hartenstein, Jaylin Williams, and Aday Mara should give them more than enough options.

Portland has a wealth of guards beyond the starters, and they’ve a variety of styles and balanced scoring to put teams off-kilter.
Deni Avdija is leading the way with 22.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game. In fact, of the top five scorers on the squad, four of them are guards … Damian Lillard (19.4), the now-injured Ja Morant (15.8), and Jrue Holiday (13) are the other three, with Toumani Camara the fifth player in this scoring quintet (13.1).
OKC Thunder vs. Portland Trail Blazers bottom line: OKC continues to win despite all the injuries and is doing it with incredible defense (ranking third). The Blazers will present them with an issue as the multi-guard lineup comes at them in waves. But if anyone can handle Portland, it would be the Thunder.

Thunder Blazers Free Pick: [INSERT ACTUAL WAGER AND LINE]
Here is my Thunder Blazers free pick: I’m playing OKC ATS as they are playing some of the best defense in the Association. Repeatedly, teams are being held to well below their season average, and since Portland already can fall into a funk on that end of the floor, I expect they’ll hit the Thunder wall.
Per ESPN: While critics of Portland’s offseason trade for Morant questioned his fit in a crowded backcourt, it pays to have extra depth in the modern NBA. Countless teams are struggling to cope with early-season injuries to key players, but the Blazers have maintained their positive momentum despite losing Morant to a strained hamstring after only four games. Deni Avdija and Damian Lillard kept the offense humming throughout a convincing road win over Denver on Monday.
Meanwhile, Scoot Henderson has stepped into Morant’s starting spot to bolster Portland’s perimeter defense, and veteran Jrue Holiday has thrived as a selfless sixth man. — Ben Golliver
Portland offers a decent defense as well, but not on the same level as OKC, so take the Thunder against the spread and to win outright.
