Betting on the Oklahoma City Thunder
- Regular Season Record: 36-37
While they have had a good stretch in which they have won seven of their last ten games, the Thunder are still outside the playoff spots, currently occupying eleventh place in the Western Conference. Despite being tied with three other teams for the eighth to eleventh positions, they have not lost their chance of making it back to the playoffs.
Despite having a 1-1 record in the first two games (both against the Los Angeles Clippers), they still have had many problems playing in that condition this campaign. Now, playing four away games in a row, hasn’t been ideal for them to make a significant impact wither.
A record of 14 wins and 21 losses evidences the Thunder’s struggles away from home, as well as an average of 114.0 points scored and 116.9 points allowed as away so far this campaign.
Betting on the Portland Trail Blazers
- Regular Season Record: 32-42
The Trail Blazers will face this game while going through a difficult moment, having won just three of their last ten games played. Their 127-115 win against the Utah Jazz, helped the team end a miserable streak of six losses in a row.
That negative stretch has taken the Portland team to fourteenth place in the standings, thus considerably diminishing their chances of getting a playoff spot. In fact, they are now 3.5 games away from their goal, so they know that a win here is their only option to stay in the battle.
The team’s poor offensive production has been a major problem for the Trail Blazers recently, and although Damian Lillard is putting up big numbers, with 32.2 points and 7.3 assists per game,he has not received enough support from his teammates to transform that performance into good results.
JefeBet Prediction
While the Trail Blazers have been playing at their best at home this campaign, they have lost their last three home games, giving the Thunder hope to get a good result in this clash.
Especially since the Blazers have also struggled defensively in their recent appearances, while the Thunder have been one of the best offensive teams in the league, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander playing at a very good level.
Considering what was previously mentioned, we expect a very close game, but we are confident that the Thunder will know how to take advantage of the Blazers’ bad moment and will end up claiming a crucial victory for their goals.
Prediction: Oklahoma City Thunder Spread (OKC 126-119 POR).
