- Lillard averaged 29.5 ppg in the first 2 games of the series to carry the offense but also was elite defensively, curbing any real effectiveness from Russell Westbrook.
- OKC committed 16 turnovers in each of the first 2 games and pointed toward the miscues as one reason for their stagnant offense, failing to go over 100 points in the first 2 games of the series.
- The Thunder are 10-of-61 from 3-point range in the series.
- Under is 9-4 in Thunder last 13 home games.
- Under is 6-2-1 in Trail Blazers last 9 road games.
- Under is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings, and the trends scream for this tonight.
OUR PICK = Under 222.0
