Once Upon A Time In Las Vegas – Super Bowl
The Portland Trail Blazers (27-28) will host the Oklahoma City Thunder (26-28) Friday night in a Western Conference battle. This is a big game for both teams with Portland 10th in the conference, and the Thunder just half a game behind them and tied with the Utah Jazz in the standings. The Thunder have beaten the Blazers twice this season outright as a four-point underdog, but both of those matchups were in Oklahoma City.
The Oklahoma City Thunder aren't mentioned in many conversations regarding the juggernauts in the Western Conference, but they are the best against the spread team in the NBA with a 33-20-1 record. The Thunder are coming off a 133-130 win over the Los Angeles Lakers Tuesday night, in the game where LeBron James passes Kareem Abul-Jabur as the NBA's all-time leading scorer. The Thunder didn't grab the national spotlight, but they did get in the win, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leading the victory with 30 points.
