Prediction
Trail Blazers 122, Warriors 109
Moneyline (ML)
The Warriors (+360) were trounced 100-79 in their previous game against the Sacramento Kings, making it their fifth loss by 20-plus points this season. The Blazers (-500) barely held off the Suns in Phoenix, defeating them 111-110, despite the Suns missing SG Devin Booker. Revenge might be on the minds of the Blazers—the Warriors beat them 127-118 in their first matchup of the season Nov. 4—but I cannot in good conscious recommend a moneyline bet on this game.
Yes, the Blazers should win this convincingly. No, it’s not profitable in the long run to wager $50 to make a profit of $10.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
Both teams have bad records against the spread—Blazers are 11-15-1 and the Warriors are 12-16—but Golden State has already lost seven games by more than 10 points on the road this season and despite this not being the Warriors we’re used to, the BLAZERS (-9.5, -106) will take pleasure in beating up on this squad as retribution for previous years of Warriors’ domination.
Over/under (O/U)
The OVER 221.5 (-105) is easy money. Both teams play poor defense—Blazers are ranked 21st in defensive rating and the Warriors are ranked 25th. The Warriors ranked last in the NBA in opponent three-point percentage, which should be a welcomed sight for a Blazers team ranked seventh in three-point percentage. Also, Blazers’ opponents have scored 108-plus points in seven of their last 10 games.
