The Portland Trail Blazers (6–3) look to end a two-game skid Tuesday at 8 p.m. PT at Moda Center, where the Oklahoma City Thunder (8–2) arrive with four straight wins. Portland gave up 124 points to the Lakers on Friday and 125 to the Spurs on Saturday, and now it faces Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who put up 30 points and nine assists in three quarters against Washington. Oklahoma City held the Wizards to 75 points and has allowed just 104.2 per game this season, even with Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams sidelined.
