Result:
LOSS

Portland has plenty of offensive punch and is playing some defense this season, eigth in the NBA in points allowed. This team could be 2-0 if it wasn't for a late slump the last game. Portland opened its season with a decisive 106-89 win over visiting Oklahoma City on Wednesday, but fell 103-94 in Sacramento two days later. The Trail Blazers allowed the Kings to pull away with 13 unanswered points in the fourth quarter. Golden State is in town off a blowout win over the Lakers, but the Warriors are 4-10-1 ATS following a win of more than 10 points. Golden State is not big up front, and this is an excellent matcup advantage for Portland. Lamarcus Aldridge is averaging 24 points and 14.8 rebounds in his last four meetings with the Warriors while Nick Batum has a combined 41 points on 63.6 percent shooting (14 of 22) and 26 rebounds in the past two visits from Golden State. Play Portland.
