Oklahoma City broke a six-game losing streak against the Trail Blazers with a 111-109 win at Portland on Jan. 4. Now the Thunder get them at home and coming off two road wins at Philadelphia and New York. Paul George scored 31 points and Russell Westbrook added 17 points and pulled down 10 rebounds as the Thunder shot 54.2 percent and defeated the Knicks on Monday afternoon. They were the two top scorers in the first meeting with the Blazers as they combined for 68 points. The Blazers have a tough turnaround after winning at Utah last night and now traveling to play another road contest. Damian Lillard scored 26 points to lead the Blazers over the Jazz. Oklahoma City has covered seven of its last eight games after scoring at least 125 points its previous game so don't expect a letup on its part. Look for Oklahoma City to get another victory, so play the Thunder on the moneyline.
