More About
Trail Blazers:
The Trail Blazers will heavily rely on their stellar backcourt of Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum for scoring, although they may face challenges in the frontcourt.
Thunder:
Despite being one of the most talented teams in the Western Conference, the Oklahoma City Thunder faced a setback last year with four consecutive losses. They have made changes by adding Dennis Schroder and Nerlens Noel while subtracting Carmelo Anthony, aiming to upset the Trail Blazers.
Series Prediction
Thunder in Six: The Thunder struggled in the final month of the regular season but managed to secure a spot in the top four teams in the Western Conference. The Blazers had an advantage on the final night of the season.
With Jusuf Nurkic sidelined and C.J. McCollum dealing with a significant knee injury, the Trail Blazers are at a disadvantage. The Thunder possess a talented roster, which could be the deciding factor in the series.
