Thursday night's NBA double-header will wrap up with the Thunder vs. Trail Blazers live streaming and televised matchup. The game follows a contest featuring the Warriors vs. Bulls in another compelling matchup. In this second game, triple-double machine Russell Westbrook and his newest teammates try to gain their fifth-straight win. Damian Lillard and Portland will try to snap a two-game losing streak as they are just a few games behind Denver for No. 8 in the Western Conference. The Thunder vs. Blazers live stream and TV game will be presented to viewers thanks to TNT networks.

Westbrook leads OKC

Russell Westbrook recently achieved a major milestone as he had his 30th triple-double stat line for the season. The accomplishment bests the all-time legend Michael Jordan, who had just 28 of these in his entire career. It also puts Westbrook up on the list with some impressive company. The OKC All-Star is fifth on the list with a total of 67 triple-doubles for his career, which trails Wilt Chamberlain, Jason Kidd, Magic Johnson, and Oscar Robertson.

Westbrook and the playoff-hopeful Thunder will visit the Trail Blazers on Thursday night. Oklahoma City currently sits at No. 7 in the Western Conference with a record of 35-25. They'll take on a Portland team trying to climb their way into the eighth spot in the playoffs before the season concludes.

With the teams on opposite sides of winning streaks, Portland will need to snap the Thunder's four-game streak to gain some ground.

Portland chasing No. 8 spot

At 24-35 the Portland Trail Blazers are currently three games behind Denver for the No. 8 spot in the Western Conference playoffs. The team has dropped their last two games and are 3-7 over their last 10 contests.

In their most recent game, the team gave a valiant effort but fell 120-113 in an overtime game against Detroit. Damian Lillard continues to lead the way with his 26 points and 5.8 assists per game, but will it be enough?

The team also received great news recently that Evan Turner will soon have his cast removed from his fractured right hand.

The cast is set to be taken off this Friday but shows that Turner is turning the corner towards his recovery and return to the lineup.
