This is a 10* WEST-COAST EXPRESS on the Portland Trailblazers.

We think the Thunder are poised for a letdown here after winning four straight, most recently a 109-106 win over Utah on Tuesday. Russell Westbrook finished with his 30th triple-double of the season with 43 points, 11 boards and ten assists. Note that it was the third straight game that the Thunder would play without guard Victor Oladipo, who is dealing with a back injury. Portland will be especially motivated after a 1-3 road trip. The Blazers though are still just 2.5 games out of the final playoff sot. Keep your eyes on Damian Lillard, he's tied for 13th in the NBA with 41 games of 20-plus points this season. Note though that from an ATS trend stand point, they don't get much stronger than this as the Thunder are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games against teams with a winning home record, while the Blazers are 4-1 ATS in thier last five home games following a road trip of seven or more days. PORTLAND has won five straight at home over OKC and we expect that strong trend to continue here.
