The Thunder and Blazers are two squads going in opposite directions with Oklahoma City losing five of its last six while Portland is fresh off a successful seven-game road trip, winning five. The Blazers have gone 7-1 ATS in their last eight games. The Thunder have won and covered all three meetings against Portland this season, but they come in on an 0-8 ATS run. The Blazers are 21-11 ATS at home this season. Portland is the play.

My data suggests a maximum of 228 points will hit the scoreboard Thursday between the Thunder and Blazers, opening up a value position on the Under against this sky-high total. The Under is on a 4-1 run in this series and Portland has played Under in five straight following a road trip of a week or longer.
