Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder host the Portland Trail Blazers for the second time this season.
The Portland Trail Blazers (6-8) are all of the sudden one of the hottest teams in the NBA. They have won three straight games, which has directly coincided with the team turning the keys over to Shaedon Sharpe, Scoot Henderson and rookie Donovan Clingan. They look to make it four wins in a row against the Oklahoma City Thunder (11-4) who have shown some vulnerability with Chet Holmgren (hip) out with an injury. Portland will try to expose Oklahoma City’s newfound vulnerability and earn a fourth straight win. A win Wednesday would tie the team’s longest winning streak in four seasons under head coach Chauncey Billups.
