Thunder vs Blazers Betting Odds January 29

Thunder Have Been Abysmal as a Spread Bet Recently

Slumping at the worst time, the Oklahoma City Thunder will look to stop the bleeding when they head to Oregon to face the Portland Trail Blazers. The Thunder are 2-6 SU in their last eight games while failing to cover the spread in each of those contests. The Blazers are trending in the opposite direction as they’ve gone 9-2 SU and ATS in their last 11 home games and will be happy to be back in Portland after a seven-game road trip.

The Blazers opened as 3.5-point favorites with a total of 233.

My Best Bet for Thunder vs Blazers

Blazers -3.5

I think the Blazers roll in this one. They have been consistently one of the best bets at home this season (21-11 ATS in 32 games) and are catching the Thunder at the best time because OKC is struggling hard. The Thunder’s defense is too shoddy to trust them to hold down the Blazers because OKC’s recipe for success was to just outscore teams.

Now that their shots aren’t falling, the Thunder are finding things difficult because of their problems keeping teams off the scoreboard. Bettors have been losing their shirt wagering on the Thunder lately (0-8 ATS in their last eight) and I expect them to fall short again tonight at the Moda Center.
