For the first time since late December, the Portland Trail Blazers suffered a loss at Moda Center, falling to the Utah Jazz on Sunday. Damian Lillard and company will look to get back in the win column at home vs the Western Conference-best Golden State Warriors on Wednesday. The Warriors have straight-up dominated this series lately, as Golden State is 11-0 SU in its last 11 meetings with Portland.
Sportsbook opened the Dubs as 5.5-point road favorites with a total of 226.
- The Warriors are 1-5 ATS in their last six games on the road after consecutive home games.
- The Trail Blazers are 0-6 SU and 0-5-1 ATS in their last six games as underdog.
- The total has gone UNDER in 10 of the Trail Blazers’ last 13 games at home against teams with winning records.
Lillard followed up a 50-point showing in a triumph over Sacramento with 39 points against the Jazz, but his team has dropped four of its last six games regardless. Portland big man Jusuf Nurkic left Sunday’s game with a back injury and was questionable to play tonight as of this writing.
The Warriors made headlines around the league in a 129-83 domination of Phoenix on Monday when head coach Steve Kerr decided to let his players coach the game themselves. Considering the players responded well to the concept, don’t be surprised to see Kerr decide to let them do it again in the near future. The Warriors have won three straight games, with each of those triumphs coming by at least 17 points.
The OVER has been a sizzling wager in this series. In the previous 20 matchups between Portland and Golden State, the OVER is 15-5.
