Oklahoma City actually was fortunate to get a win in Game 3 and didn't pull away to get the cover until late in the fourth quarter. Apparently, Portland has caught up with the Thunder talent-wise, and the Trail Blazers are 47-37-1 ATS this season. It was not a fluke that the Blazers won the first two games of this series, and they are 13-5-1 ATS their last 19 games following an ATS loss. Oklahoma City still is just 5-15 ATS its last 20 against Western Conference teams and 4-9 ATS its last 13 games after a win. The Thunder won it at the free-throw line on Friday making 31-of-39 compared to 18 of 24 for the Blazers, who got 32 points from Damian Lillard. If Portland can somehow even that out on the Thunder's home court, it can take this game to the wire. Grab the points with the Trail Blazers.
