Trail Blazers Offense vs Warriors Defense

Deni Avdija #8 of the Portland Trail Blazers shoots during the first half

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

Stephen Curry #30 of the Golden State Warriors celebrates after a three point shot

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.

Guards: Clingan, Sharpe
Forwards: Avdija, Camara
Centre: Murray
Golden State Warriors:
Guards: Curry, Podziemski

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.
