Will Oklahoma be able to continue its winning streak, or will Portland take advantage of the absence of key opposing players? - find out in our betting tip!
Command Analysis
Oklahoma City Thunder
USACurrent form
The Thunderbolts continue to bend their line and win. The team is moving forward and is not afraid to take risks, although this is not surprising, given the confident leadership in the Western Conference. In the last match, Oklahoma scored its 51st victory of the season, defeating Memphis (120:103). Mark Daynot's team didn't even give their opponent a chance to win one of the quarters.
Shay Gilges-Alexander harassed the opponent's defense and eventually scored 41 points. The team is in fantastic shape, and in the next match against Portland it will be back on the floor as a favorite. Despite this, the infirmary is crowded with important players.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lugenz Dort, Isaah Hartenstein, Ajay Mitchell, Nikola Topic, Ksson Wallace and Jalen Williams will not play in the next match due to injuries. Shay Gilges-Alexander has earned a rest and is likely to miss the next game.
Interesting facts for betting
The Thunder's winning streak lasts for five matches.
Approximate line-up: Williams - Wiggins, Joe -Dieng, Williams.
Portland Trail Blazers
USACurrent form
The Trackers are still ahead of the top three outsiders in the West, but the gap is small. The team has not managed to prove itself properly this season, so it remains just to finish it. Portland lost in the last match to Boston (118:128), although it tried to fight.
We must pay tribute to Anferny Simons, who scored 30 points. However, in general, the team looks unstable, especially in defense. In the upcoming match, Portland will play on the road against the conference leader, but there is a chance of success, as the opponent will not enter the floor with an optimal composition.
Disqualifications and injuries
Deandre Ayton, Dalano Banton, Jeremy Grant, Mathis Tibul and Robert Williams will not play due to health problems.
Interesting facts for betting
Portland has scored 12 away wins this season.
Approximate line-up: Avdiya - Kamara, Klingan - Sharp, Simons.

For Oklahoma, the next match is just another opponent, because the team is confidently churning out victories. It is impressive how Thunder players find the motivation to play a decent game every time, even though they have been confidently leading for a long time.
Portland shoots from time to time and can surprise, especially since the opponent will not be able to count on a number of key players. The blazers will have a good opportunity to test their strength and they have a good chance to score points. We assume that the guests will take advantage of the leader's problems.
Our betting tip is a win for Portland, taking into account the overtime in 2.05
Bet on the total
Oklahoma is aggressive and tries to put pressure on the opponent from the first minute. The match will take place at the home arena, which adds even more confidence. Despite the unstable performances, Portland is trying to act dangerously and effectively, although, most likely, we will not have a particularly spectacular match, as the hosts will not be the starting five.
Betting Tip - total less than 229 points in 1.70
Betting on statistics
It is unlikely that Oklahoma will show its game without key players. Thunder houses often act in an aggressive manner, although now they will have to act as the second number. Accordingly, there are all prerequisites to believe that the thunderbolts will not break through the individual total.
Prediction – Oklahoma's individual total is less than 115 points in 1.80
