What you need to know about the Trail Blazers

Meanwhile, Portland was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Monday as it fell 119-114 to the Timberwolves. The loss came despite a brilliant performance from Anfernee Simons, who dropped a double-double on 34 points and 14 assists. Duop Reath also had 26 points in the defeat.

Forced into a starting role over the last three games, Reath is averaging 18.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game while shooting 59.0% from the floor and 44.4% from the 3-point line. After losing by 62 points to the Thunder earlier in the season, Portland did cover the spread comfortably as 13.5-point underdogs in a 111-109 loss to Oklahoma City on Jan. 23. It'll hope to build off that performance on Wednesday despite having a lengthy injury list. Malcolm Brogdon (elbow), Scoot Henderson (adductor) and Shaedon Sharpe (abdominal) are all out, while Deandre Ayton (hand) is doubtful and Jerami Grant (quad) is questionable. See which team to pick here.

Key Betting Info

Simons will likely loom large in the final result, win or lose. This season, he has averaged 22.7 points, 5.5 assists and 3.6 rebounds per game and he'll have to continue to carry a heavy load for a Portland squad that has eight players listed on the injury report.

Some of the betting trends to consider are:

• The Trail Blazers are 9-4 against the spread in their last 13 games when the spread was between +11.5 to +14.5.
• The Thunder are 31-18-1 against the spread in their last 50 games after a day off.
• The Thunder are 28-17 against the spread in their last 45 games when favored.
