    Portland TrailBlazers +5.5 at Oklahmoa City on Tuesday

    Portland has a brutal road schedule coming up and has played some tiring up tempo games the past few days. That being said they are hot and talented and taking on a Thunder team lacking the services of Russel Westbrook. I can see this game being close and OKC winning outright but not by more than 5 points. For the record, Portland has won both previous match ups outright and both of those match ups were close games.


    Going with....


    PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS +5.5 at THUNDER

    Okc has beat GSW and the Rockets in the last week without Westbrook

    Not sure thats a valid reason to fade okc right now. Theyve played a lot of games without him in the last year, they're not scared.

    OKC don't lose at home. It is a surprising line and no desire to bet it

    I agree with Mr Lunch but if I had to bet it I'd go Portland as well.

    Didn't Okc nearly beat them in the last meeting? I think they threw away a double digit lead in the 4th quarter. Okc will be more focused this time round.

    taking port and points, parsons and cass for hou stepped up/were on fire without those 2 pretty much doubling their season avgs 17 to 31 pts and 8 to 15 pts, POR likely would have covered.

    dont care too much about the fatigue factor as por are a young team as well as their coach manages the playing time well of his players

    no one on por played over 36 mins today @ Hou

    Don't trust it. Last game in Port@OKC Portland got really lucky in 2H to win. They made every 3 pointer and I dont see that happening 2x. Weird the line jumps up to 6 after opening at 3.5 too.

    What worries me is if Portland covered both games prior to this. Tough to cover 3 straight against an elite team.

    However Portland is 7-3 on back to backs this year.

    If the line was Portland +4, I was going to take the ML with OKC and the points with Portland.
    Just can't wager at -250 for the moneyline though.

    The Blazers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games playing on no days rest and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS loss, while the Thunder are 4-0 ATS in their last four home games and 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall.

    I think POR is also 9-2 ATS as away dogs. They were 9-1 before last night. That said, I'm staying away from this one.

    This is from their last game. Portland starters played almost the entire game. Will they do that tonight?

    And somewhere I read that Portland hit an insane amount of threes, they hit 24%
