The Portland Trailblazers have faced a lot of injury obstacles, but it hasn't slowed them down. In fact, it has given them some good team depth to take into the playoffs. This is a team that is peaking at the right time having gone 17-5 over their last 22 games. They have been a force on the defensive end, which has been their calling card, as no team has gotten out of the 80s against them in each of their last four. The Thunder are vastly improved over a year ago, but have struggled with no rest, cashing just one of their last seven. The UNDER has prevailed in 10 of the last 11 between these clubs, and the Thunder has cashed just one of the last six. I'll go with Portland on the moneyline here, and the UNDER.
