Trail Blazers at Warriors picks and predictions
Prediction
Warriors 110, Trail Blazers 106
Moneyline
The Blazers are 10-10 on the road this season and have dropped 4 of their last 5 road games.
The Warriors are 15-2 at home and have won 4 straight there.
I’m riding the Warriors at home while they are hot and continue to get positive odds on the moneyline.
BET WARRIORS (+120).
Against the spread
The Blazers are 21-13 ATS overall but only 8-6 ATS when favored and 3-2 ATS as road favorites.
The Warriors have lost against the spread in their last 3 games.
However, because I like them to win outright, the better play is the moneyline with those plus money odds.
PASS.
Over/Under
Six of the Warriors’ last 7 wins have fallen below Friday’s projected total. With no Curry or Wiggins, they have to rely on playing solid defense. They have not allowed more than 109 points in their 3 wins on the homestand.
The Blazers are 15-18-1 O/U this season. The Under is 4-1 in their last 5 games.
BET UNDER 233.5 (-115).
