The Trail Blazers were without Scoot Henderson, Deandre Ayton, Toumani Camara, Jerami Grant, Malcolm Brogdon, Shaedon Sharpe, Robert Williams III, and Mattise Thybulle on Monday night. They still managed to cover the spread, though, as the Blazers were led by Anfernee Simons (34 points and 14 assists) and Duop Reath (career-high 26 points, 5-for-6 from three). Can they follow up that performance with another ATS victory against an Oklahoma City squad that got thumped by the Lakers in its last game?
The Thunder have been a reliable ATS bet (38-22) this season, but they're 1-2 SU and ATS in their last three games. OKC has championship aspirations, but it's not playing its best ball. At 13.5 points, I feel more confident predicting a Trail Blazers cover, as they should use Monday's competitive outcome as motivation to play another spirited game at home. Plus, they could have more bodies available to play than they did versus Minnesota.
