Trail Blazers vs. Warriors, 10 p.m. ET

Pick ATS: Warriors +2.5

Everyone knows the discrepancy for Golden State when it comes to home and road games. The Warriors are a juggernaut in the Bay, especially defensively. They're on a nice winning streak right now and match up well with Portland. The Blazers might have the best player on the floor in Damian Lillard, but the Warriors are the better overall unit. Take Golden State to cover and potentially win outright.

Over/Under: Under 233

The Blazers are actually one of the better defensive teams in the league. They rank third in points allowed per game over the last five contests, while Golden State's home record is exceptional defensively. The Warriors are 10th in opponent points allowed when at home, as opposed to dead last in the league when on the road. With a high number like this, the under is the better play.
