OKC Thunder vs Portland Trail Blazers: Preview
The OKC Thunder currently has no players on their injury list, and they enter this matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers with a clean bill of health.
On the other side, Malcolm Brogdon is 'questionable' to play against the Thunder. Scoot Henderson is almost a week or two from returning to the roster, while Anfernee Simons is good to go by mid-December.
Also in the Trail Blazers IR is Ian Wainright who is expected to be back by late December while Robert Williams is out for the season.
OKC Thunder vs Portland Trail Blazers: Predicted lineups
With Malcolm Brogdon, Anfernee Simons and Scoot Henderson out, Shaedon Sharpe and Skylar Mays have been the team's starting backcourt. DeAndre Ayton starts at center while beside him is Jerami Grant. Toumani Camara rounds up the team's starters last game.
The OKC Thunder has been going with their usual starting five of Josh Giddey and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander at the guards while Chet Holmgren is at the center position to anchor the defense. Lou Dort and Jalen Williams are the rest of the starters at forward.
OKC Thunder vs Portland Trail Blazers: Betting tips
The NBA props given to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is at 30.5 points and he has not reached that mark in the last two games. Against the Trail Blazers, it is safe to say that this may be a blowout and SGA won't reach the mark as he may be limited with his minutes especially coming from a back-to-back.
With not much firepower, Jerami Grant has been anchoring the team's offense. His NBA props are only at 23.5 points and he has gone over that three times in the last five games. We are still confident that Grant will score in bunches and will break the props again.
OKC Thunder vs Portland Trail Blazers: Prediction
The OKC Thunder should bring the momentum from their winning streak against the Portland Trail Blazers. They will dictate the tempo even if they are playing on their opponents home court and will have a high-scoring matchup. The total should go over.
Meanwhile, the spread at 7.5 points should go over as the Trail Blazers will run out of gas against this Thunder team.
