Ray Felton is questionable tonight.
If he sits and Jamal Crawford starts, I'd play the over.
Jamal will push the offense and whether it makes the Blazers worse or not, it'll propel the total higher than the 194. His defense isn't as solid as Felton's either. Westbrook will score at ease on Crawford, but Jamal can still shoot over him.
If Felton sits, with Maynor and Thabo out, I see more of a 104-101 type game that could go either way, because Jamal has played better than Crawford as of late. He needs to lead the second team so it flows or else he would be on the first team instead of Felton or Matthews.
With Jamal starting, Felton out and Elliot Williams backing up Crawford, he'll run the offense at a faster pace than Felton.
If Felton does play, I look for Jamal and Ray to be much more controlling of the ball and keep the total closer to 194. However, I do think it helps the Blazers' efficiency and Portland can keep their success in the Garden alive and edge a close one over OKC.
Either way I think this game is a 5-7 point game, if Felton sits play
OKC and over
If felton plays, play Blazers and no play on O/U, but I'd lean over.
BOL all.
