Meanwhile, the Portland Trail Blazers (12-30) continue to be one of the worst teams in the league. They were blown out by the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday.

Trail Blazers at Thunder notable injuries
Thunder: Ousmane Dieng (G League assignment) is out. Olivier Sarr (hip flexor strain) is out. Lindy Waters III (G League two-way) is out.
Trail Blazers: Shaedon Sharpe (abdominal strain) is out. Robert Williams III (knee ligament tear) is out. Moses Brown (wrist fracture) is out.
Advice and prediction
Considering how the first two matchups went between these teams, I expect the Thunder to make easy work of the Trail Blazers. OKC should blow them out and rest their starters in the fourth quarter.
It’ll be important to not let Portland stick around as it’ll be the first night of a home-and-road back-to-back for OKC, so extra rest could pay dividends for the Thunder in San Antonio on Wednesday.
Prediction: Thunder 128, Trail Blazers 104
