This is the third meeting between the two teams this season. There were 179 points scored the first time and 189 points scored during the second matchup.

I don't expect many points either this time around with each team devoid of their best scorers.

Oklahoma City has been missing its leading scorer, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. He could be shut down for the season due to an ankle injury.

Portland is down its top three scorers with Damian Lillard, Anfernee Simons and Jusef Nurikic all out. The Trail Blazers just lost forward Trendon Watford to a knee injury this past Friday. Watford had been averaging 15.4 points this month.

The Trail Blazers are averaging only 100 points during their last three games.
