Brandon Rahbar previewed the Portland matchup on the today's Daily Thunder podcast. Listen to the full episode here:
3 Big Things
- Mini-streaks. The Blazers have won three straight and the Thunder have lost two in a row. Whose mini-streak will end tonight? Both teams'? Neither? Somehow just one or the other?
- Hart warming up? Isaiah Hartenstein has been upgraded to questionable. Deandre Ayton (doubtful) and Anfernee Simons (questionable) could miss the game for Portland, while Isaiah Joe will miss his second straight game with a calf injury.
- Get right night. Nothing can be taken for granted until (at least) Hartenstein's return, and the Thunder are on a back-to-back. But seriously, Oklahoma City should not lose to the likes of Scoot Henderson, Donovan Clingan the rest of their raw pieces.
Prediction
OKC's margin of victory equals Scoot's turnovers total: 122-115
