Portland is a tired team and it showed in its 120-111 loss at Memphis on Tuesday, which was the final game of a seven-game road trip. Now they only have one day to recover from all the traveling and take on the Thunder, which has beaten the Blazers three times in a row. Oklahoma City won the last meeting 120-111 on Feb. 11 as a 4.5-point favorite when Paul George exploded for 47 points and Russell Westbrook added 21 points and 14 rebounds. George has missed a few games recently due to a shoulder injury, but he returned on Tuesday and was a little rusty and made only 8-of-25 from the field in a 131-120 loss to Minnesota. However, he will bounce back tonight as he has averaged 40 points in his three games versus Portland this season. Oklahoma City is a slight underdog in this matchup, so take the Thunder on the moneyline.
