Warriors at Trail Blazers picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 120, Trail Blazers 114

Moneyline

PASS.

The Warriors (-172) have the experience and actually haven't played as poorly as their recent record suggests. They should come out on top here but aren't worth a play at -178.

Against the spread

BET WARRIORS -4.5 (-108).

The Warriors beat the Trail Blazers at home 110-106 on Dec. 6, failing to cover as 12.5-point favorites. Golden State has covered 2 of its last 3 road games. It has covered 2 of 3 without rest and is 8-5 ATS on the road. The Warriors have played well in this position this season.

The Blazers have failed to cover 3 of their last 5 and have lost 5 straight, 4 of which have by 5 or more points. They are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games as well. Portland is the 2nd-worst home-covering team in the NBA.

Back the WARRIORS -4.5 (-108) given the trends for both sides.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 233.5 (-110).

The Blazers are 11-12 O/U this season but have gone Over in 3 straight games, mainly due to their awful defense. They have allowed 125 or more in 3 straight games and will take the court against the potent Curry-led Dubs. Portland has gone Over in 4 of its last 5.

The Warriors have gone Over in 4 straight and have scored at least 120 in 2 of those, allowing 119 or more in all 4. Neither team has shown much resistance defensively this season. Back OVER 233.5 (-110).
