The Portland Trail Blazers will be taking on the OKC Thunder on Tuesday, April 5th.
The tip-off is set for 8:00 ET from Paycom Center.
Oklahoma City started off as a 3 point favorite and that number is now up to 3.5. The total has gone from 223 to 222.5.
Portland Trail Blazers
It certainly has been a very disappointing season for the Trail Blazers. There is really no way around that one.
This team has lost six games in a row and it does not appear as if it is going to get any better.
Simply put, they have a lot of work to do if they wish to be competitive in the West next season. As of now, the future does not look all that bright for them.
I get that they have dealt with injuries and now their second-best player is in New Orleans, but a lot of the issues for them started before all of that took place and the franchise has to take ownership of that, which has not always been the case.
Portland last played on Sunday, where they lost to the San Antonio Spurs by a score of 113-92. They also lost to the Spurs last Friday by a score of 130-111.
In their last game, the offense just did not show up for them. It is hard to win games in the NBA when you score just over 90 points.
OKC Thunder
Similar to their opponent, it has also been a rough season for this Thunder team. There has not been a lot of positivity associated with them, which really does not come as a surprise.
They have a record of 23-55, which puts them in 14th place in the Western Conference. They have a long way to go if they wish to improve their seeding for next season.
Some within the organization might have optimism about their future, but I do not necessarily see it. For me, it is going to be some time before they are once again relevant.
The offense looked quite good for them in their last game, as seven players ended up reaching double figures. The leading scorer was Olivier Sarr, who had 24 points and 6 rebounds.
NBA Betting Trends:
- The Trail Blazers are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games.
- The Trail Blazers are 0-7 SU in their last 7 games.
- The total has gone over in 14 of OKC’s last 20 games.
- The Thunder are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games.
Portland Trail Blazers vs. OKC Thunder NBA Analysis:
On a nightly basis, there are so many good games in the association, but this is sure as hell not one of them.
In a scenario such as this one with two of the worst teams out there, you do not truly know what to expect from either side here.
These two teams met a little bit ago and let’s just say there was a point or two scored in that one. It would not shock me if that is the case on Tuesday evening.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Over 222.5
Neither defense is all that great here, but offenses have shown they have the ability to score pretty effectively.
When all is said and done, I see this being a high-scoring affair that goes over the posted total.
