Thunder vs. Trail Blazers Odds & Betting Predictions - January 26, 2025

The Blazers face off against the Thunder tonight in a brutal matchup for them. The player I’m looking to bet is Donovan Clingan. Clingan has been fun to watch when he’s given run; however, he rarely sees minutes beyond 20. Although Deandre Ayton is out tonight, Robert Williams is in which further caps his ceiling. For the Thunder, Isaiah Hartenstein returns today to further bolster an already strong Thunder interior defense. They allow the fewest points in the paint per game and that’s essentially where Clingan gets all of his. This is a brutal matchup. Clingan is only averaging 5.6 ppg this season and even last game without both Ayton and Williams he played just 18 minutes and was only 2/4 from the field for 4 points. I’ll grab the under here for Clingan and would expect his minutes to be capped around 25 as he’s eased back into action.
