Total: 233.50 | -105.00 Under
Result: Win
This is a 10* NORTHWEST TOY on the UNDER Blazers/Thunder.
Both teams have been involved in several higher-scoring games of late, but all signs point to much more of a defensive affair here in my opinion finally.
Portland is just 10-26, including only 5-15 on the road. Oklahoma City is 25-11, including 14-5 at home.
Portland has lost four of its last five, including a listless 112-84 setback at the Knicks last time out.
The Blazers lost 134-91 to OKC back on November 19th and I think they'll struggle to eclipse the century mark tonight as well. And with a game at Minnesota tomorrow night, the visitors will get caught looking ahead as they try to save some gas for that difficult contst.
And for the Thunder, they've now seen the total go OVER the number in five straight after their 128-120 win at Miami, which is significant to note as they've seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of their last 11 after playing to five or more straight OVERS in a row.
The overall situation that each team finds itself coming into this one, combined with the numbers/trends all point to this being a MUCH more defensive affair than what the oddsmakers are trying to lead us to believe. The play is the UNDER.
Good luck, NP
