Trail Blazers at Warriors: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Trail Blazers 121, Warriors 106

Money line (ML)

AVOID. The Trail Blazers (-200) blasted the Warriors in the front end of the double dip in San Francisco, winning 123-98 on Friday. It looks like a slam-dunk play to take Portland straight-up, but there is just too much risk. Look to the spread instead.

Against the spread (ATS)

The TRAIL BLAZERS -5.5 (-105) are likely to get a little more resistance from the Warriors in the second game of this doubleheader. They covered Friday as 3.5-point favorites by a wide margin. They’re the play despite being just 11-24 ATS in their previous 35 trips to the Bay Area.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 235.5 (-110) is the way to go despite the fact the Over is 4-1 in the previous five head-to-head meetings. The Under hit Friday, and Golden State’s struggles on offense make Over plays a big risk. The Warriors are posting just 108.2 points per game to rank 21st in the NBA, and they’re 30th in both field-goal percentage (39.8) and 3-point percentage (30.6).

Trail Blazers at Warriors: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Money line (ML)

Portland split its Los Angeles-road games beating the Lakers 115-107 as a 6.5-point underdog on Dec. 28, followed by a 23-point drubbing by the Clippers as a 5.5-point ‘dog this past Wednesday.

As expected, the Trail Blazers have been top-heavy in the backcourt with their scoring: Damian Lillard averages 23 points per game on 30.1% usage and C.J. McCollum is putting up 28 PPG on 29.6% usage.

The Warriors recovered from two beatings to start the season at the hands of the Brooklyn Nets (125-99 on Dec. 22) and the Milwaukee Bucks (135-99 on Christmas Day) to win two straight coming into Friday’s game. Golden State’s victories came against the Chicago Bulls and Detroit Pistons, neither of which are projected to be playoff teams.

The Trail Blazers were 2-0 (1-1 ATS) in last year’s season series vs. the Warriors, including a 129-124 overtime win that featured a 61-point, 10-rebound, 7-assist performance by Lillard. However, missing from the game was two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry and 2016-17 Defensive Player of the Year Draymond Green.

The most important point is that the Trail Blazers shouldn’t be laying points on the road against a team that’s historically owned them given how mediocre they’ve looked. Portland is below-average points per game and offensive efficiency and second-to-last in defensive efficiency.

Also, let me caveat this next point by saying, Klay Thompson is one of my favorite players in the NBA, but what would the Trail Blazers-Warriors line be if Klay was playing? My guess is Golden State would easily be a 5-point favorite and, despite how much Klay brings to the table, I don’t think he’s worth 8.5 points.

It’s the home-opener for the Warriors with two of the three Golden State champions active (Curry and Green). While the Warriors won’t have a raucous home crowd, I expect Golden State to bring the same intensity it would in normal years.

GIMME WARRIORS (+135) for a half-unit.

Against the spread (ATS)

If we are sprinkling on the home underdog’s money line, then let’s TAKE WARRIORS +3.5 (-110) for 1.5 units. Lillard has a flare for the dramatic and we can still win some money if he rips the Warriors hearts out on their home floor with a buzzer-beater.

Over/Under (O/U)

I’m more locked into the sides in Trail Blazers-Warriors so I’ll PASS ON THE TOTAL. I somewhat lean Over 235.5 (-110) but the market has already steamed the total up from a 230.5-point opener so we are getting the worst of the number.
