The Portland Trail Blazers will welcome the Oklahoma City Thunder to the Moda Center in an NBA clash. This meeting between the eighth-placed Blazers and the sixth-placed Thunder has us favouring an away win as our prediction for this closely contested affair.

The Portland Trail Blazers have steadied the ship after suffering back-to-back defeats against the Lakers and the Spurs. That run ended when they won 123-103 at home against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

In that match, Damian Lillard led the team with 25 points. Deni Avdija also played a crucial role in the team's win as he contributed 24 points (8-of-15 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs).

The Blazers are out to make it two wins on the bounce. However, that should be easier said than done considering that they've won just two of their last 21 games in this fixture.

Returning on the second night of a back-to-back, the Oklahoma City Thunder will be eager to avenge their 20-point defeat and get back to winning ways.

The Thunder dominated the Blazers last term, winning three of their last four meetings. Of those wins, one came on the road in the final game, winning 123-115.

That should be able to give them confidence, given their away record in the current season has left much to be desired. After six games, they've posted a 3-3 record.
