4. At Oklahoma City Thunder (March 25)
Back on Jan. 19, the Blazers won at OKC by 11 points. That should give the Blazers confidence to beat the Thunder again on their on the floor. Portland is 3-0 against the Thunder and would have a chance to sweep the season series. They know how to beat this team
OKC is one of the teams fighting with Portland for either the fourth or third seed in the West. Depending on how the standings look, this could be a crucial game for both.
The Blazers will be facing a strong Thunder squad being led by Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony, and Paul George. Those three guys know how to take their performances to the next level when the games matter and lead their team to a victory.
Just like every game the rest of the season, Portland is going to need all hands on deck. They need Damian Lillard, Jusuf Nurkic, and C.J. McCollum to be playing their best basketball. If those three guys are on for the Blazers, it will just elevate the play from the guys around them.
In the 108-100 win on March 3, against the Thunder, the Blazers were led by their stars but also got big performances from guys like Zach Collins, Ed Davis, Evan Turner and Shabazz Napier.
