The Portland Trail Blazers take on the Oklahoma City Thunder in their third scrimmage game of the NBA Bubble in Orlando. Find out how to watch.

On Tuesday, the Portland Trail Blazers play Western Conference rivals the Oklahoma City Thunder. This is the Blazers third and final practice scrimmage since they arrived in the NBA Bubble in Orlando.

Though they have two losses so far, I wouldn’t read too much into these games. In both contests, the Blazers were missing one starter, while also welcoming Zach Collins and Jusuf Nurkic back into the fold.

Damian Lillard missed the second game with a sore foot, but his X-ray result was negative, meaning he will probably suit up for this game. Hassan Whiteside missed the first game, but then returned for the second contest where he played for the first time in the jumbo-size lineup next to Jusuf Nurkic.

Look for Terry Stotts to get eyes on his returnees from injury, and his frontcourt trio, including Carmelo Anthony.

The Blazers split the season series with the Thunder two games apiece, with each team winning a home and an away game. The Thunder, in contrast to the Blazers, have won both of their scrimmages so far.
