Oklahoma City Thunder vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction - 11/5/2025
Updated July 9, 2026
The Oklahoma City Thunder will face the Portland Trail Blazers at Moda Center in Portland on Wednesday night. The Thunder come into this game undefeated on the season through eight games. But they are on the second game of a back-to-back here and will have to contend with fatigue to keep their unbeaten start going. Here, I have broken down this Western Conference matchup in the NBA, and you can find my Thunder vs Trail Blazers prediction below.

A road back-to-back is never easy, even when you're the undefeated defending champions of the NBA. Still, I think that the Thunder will win this game and cover the spread on the road. My confidence level in this game is low, as you can see above. But if I were to bet this game, I'd take the Thunder to cover the spread as a slight favorite to improve to 9-0 on the year.
