Thunder vs Trail Blazers predictions, picks
Justin Martinez: OKC 119, Portland 103
Donovan Clingan will be a handful on the glass for OKC, which won’t have Isaiah Hartenstein for the second straight game. But the Thunder has the edge offensively with its Big Three leading the way, and the Trail Blazers could struggle in the playmaking department without a true point guard. I’m picking OKC to win this one at home.
