This line is because Oklahoma City will be missing a good portion of its team, including Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who is slated to be rested. Seven other Thunder players are out or day-to-day, including Chet Holmgren. Portland is 36-26-1 ATS this season, and it has won five of seven while covering four of its past five games. The Trail Blazers have a young team that has improved significantly from the start of the season. The Thunder are just 4-5-1 ATS their past 10 games and 1-5 ATS their past six against Northwest Division teams. Portland has covered four of the past five meetings and four of its past five road contests. Take the Trail Blazers.

Oklahoma City at Portland
The Oklahoma City has been in a rebuild but has arrived at 42-19 on the season. The Thunder have won more games than the previous season for the third straight year and the 42 wins so far has eclipsed last season's win total. The Thunder have been quick to extinguish poor teams as they are 10-4 ATS when facing a team with a winning percentage of .315 or less. They have won the games they are supposed to win as they have an impressive 23-3 SU and 19-7 ATS mark when favored by 4.5 or more points on the season. Portland threw in the towel, dealt Damien Lillard and the rebuild has begun. The Blazers are just 2-10 SU in their last 12, and playing as a home dog they are on an 0-5 SU/ATS run. Make the play on Oklahoma City.
