Why the Warriors Can Cover
Golden State has dominated Portland at home for the last few years, winning three in a row by double digits when these teams met in San Francisco. The Warriors have been nearly unbeatable at home this season, with Chase going 15-2 in his 17 games at center. They started their current eight-game homestand with wins over Memphis, Charlotte, and Utah.
Ty Jerome scored 14 points against the Grizzlies on Christmas and rookie Patrick Baldwin Jr. scored 11 against the Jazz on Wednesday. Klay Thompson missed the game against Utah with a knee injury, but is expected to return to his regular role on Friday. Golden State has covered the spread in seven of his last eight games against conference opponents, while Portland has covered just one in his last five games. Hmm.
WHY THE TRAILBLAZERS CAN COVER
Portland is one of three teams in the NBA to have at least 10 road wins this season already, so the Blazers will be confident going into this matchup. Star guard Damien Lillard, who attended Oakland High School, has scored 30-plus in his sixth inning with Golden State. He had nine assists in a 124-113 win against Charlotte on Monday after scoring 34 points in Denver in Portland’s recent road game.
Golden State is playing without star guard Stephen Curry (shoulder), the team’s top scorer with 30.0 points per game. The Warriors will also be without Andrew Wiggins due to illness, leaving him without two of his top three scoring options. Portland has covered the spread in 8 of their last 12 games.
