Trail Blazers Offense vs Warriors Defense

Portland is strong with their attacks and drives, while the Warriors are known for their perimeter defence, but this Portland side will be very difficult to contain because of their athleticism. 

Key Players to Watch: Trail Blazers

  • Deni Avdija
    The forward has been one of their best players and is averaging over 25 points per game, and he is also a creative threat. 
  • Donovan Clingan
    The rookie has been a solid performer and has dominated the center with his blocking ability.

Trail Blazers Injury Report

The Trail Blazers will be without Jrue Holiday, who has a calf strain, and Jerami Grant, who is nursing an Achilles issue. 

Golden State Warriors Form and Key Stats – WWLWW

The Warriors have an experienced side that is led by their star player, Stephen Curry. They are 19-17 currently and excel in three-point scoring. 

Warriors Offense vs Trail Blazers Defense

The Warriors rely on Curry’s shooting ability and movement in the attacking third, while the injuries in the Portland roster could give the Warriors an advantage in this one. 

Key Players to Watch: Warriors

  • Stephen Curry 
    Curry is one of the GOATs of our game and has been averaging 28 points per game this campaign. 
  • Draymond Green
    Green is the anchor on the Warriors' side as he adds intensity and playmaking to their game. 

Warriors Injury Report

The Warriors will only be without Seth Curry, who has a sciatic nerve issue. Steph Curry should shrug off an ankle issue and be fit for the Trail Blazers game.

Predicted Line-Ups

  1. Portland Trail Blazers: 
    Guards: Clingan, Sharpe
    Forwards: Avdija, Camara
    Centre: Murray 

  2. Golden State Warriors:
    Guards: Curry, Podziemski
    Forwards: Butler, Green
    Centre: Zubac 

Portland Trail Blazers vs Golden State Warriors – NBA Prop Bets

  1. Steph Curry Over 28.5 Points: The star guard has been averaging over 28 points per game recently.

  2. Steph Curry over 5.5 Threes made: Curry has been in great form, and against a weakened Trail Blazers side, he should have a high-scoring game.

Suggested Main Bets

  1. 1

    Steph Curry Over Points Prop: Curry’s form coming into the tie makes him a strong favourite for this market. 

  2. 2

    Over 230.5 Total: Both these sides have had high-scoring meetings lately, and another looks likely. 

Portland Trail Blazers vs Golden State Warriors Prediction: Warriors to Bounce Back at Home 

The Golden State Warriors should have too much squad depth and experience for this youthful Trail Blazers outfit. Back Curry and co to romp to victory at home. Expect the Trail Blazers to make it a competitive encounter, especially with Avdija’s form, but the home side should claim the victory in San Francisco.
