The last time the Trail Blazers and Warriors met up, the Bay Area Rollers ran over Portland on their home court and easily covered the -5.5 spread in a 23-point route. Golden State will get the Blazers at home this time around so you’d think this should be an easy win for the dubs.
GSW has been getting insanely high total lines all year but the 232 total line that this game opened up with would be tied for the highest total this season if it closed there. The highest total that these teams have had in their last 10 matchups was a 228 line that went OVER by 12.
The Warriors and Blazers are both in the top four in team scoring and both in the bottom half of the league in points allowed. This game has the potential to get out of hand and could close with the highest total of the entire season so far.
You may want to stay away from a spread bet here as both teams have been incredibly inconsistent ATS. This is a great game for total bettors – you might want to become one.
