This is a quick turnaround for Portland. The Trail Blazers have had only one day to prepare for the defending champions after taking advantage of the injury-depleted Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night. Golden State has been off since Wednesday's 114-81 win over Houston and the Warriors have won six of the last seven meetings with the Trail Blazers with a 6-1 ATS record. Golden State has plenty of depth to make up for the loss of Stephen Curry as it showed in the Houston series as Klay Thompson scored 27 points in Game 5, and Brandon Rush added 15 points off the bench. Draymond Green recorded 15 points and nine rebounds. Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum are a potent one-two punch for the Blazers, but won't be enough to matchup with the Warriors' firepower. The Blazers averaged 97.3 points in the Clippers series and will have tired legs after playing on Friday and then traveling. Play the Warriors and also the UNDER.
