Warriors at Trail Blazers picks and predictions
Prediction
Warriors 123, Trail Blazers 118
Moneyline
Even with Curry sidelined and Golden State’s woes on the road, the WARRIORS (+115) are where I’m headed. The Trail Blazers have played uninspiring basketball recently and they’ve become too reliant on G Damian Lillard to put up gaudy numbers to win.
Against the spread
If you aren’t comfortable taking Golden State to win straight up, WARRIORS +2.5 (-112) is how to wager on the spread. I’m expecting massive games from G Jordan Poole and G Klay Thompson with F Draymond Green orchestrating the offense.
The Warriors are 4-2 ATS in their last 6 meetings against the Trail Blazers. Portland is also 2-8 ATS in its last 10 games following a double-digit loss at home.
Over/Under
OVER 235.5 (-108) is the easy choice here with neither team having an elite defense. The Warriors are 15th in defensive rating, while the Trail Blazers are 27th in defensive rating this season.
Golden State is 5-1 to the Over in its last 6 games overall. The Over is also 16-5-1 in the last 22 meetings between these 2 teams in Portland.
