The Oklahoma City Thunder are looking for consecutive wins in this game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Chris Paul led the Thunder with 30 points, seven assists and four rebounds, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander added 22 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in a 119-106 win over the Blazers.
Houston has lost four of its past five games, including a huge defeat to the Thunder back on Jan. 9.
In that matchup, Danilo Gallinari had 23 points, 11 rebounds and four assists for Oklahoma City in the 113-92 win.
The Thunder are the seventh seed in the Western Conference and they continue to be one of the most impressive teams in the NBA, even after trading away Russell Westbrook and Paul George.
I am unsure if the Thunder get this win, but I do love them plus the 6.5 points.
Roll with Oklahoma City.

LeBron James finished with 31 points, 12 assists, five rebounds and two steals, and Kyle Kuzma contributed 23 points and eight rebounds for the Lakers in a 124-115 win.
The Lakers have won 10 of their last 11 games and they have an 18-3 road record, which is by far the best in all of basketball.
Look for James, Kuzma and the Lakers to take care of business on Monday night at the TD Garden in Boston.
