Portland takes a modest three-game winning streak into their contest with Golden State Sunday evening, but bettors should be wary of the Trail Blazers in this spot. The Blazers have gone just 4-12 ATS in their past 16 games against the Warriors, which includes a 2-6 ATS record at Moda Center.
Though we all know about Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum’s scoring ability, it has been Mason Plumlee who has been the x-factor for the Blazers. The Duke product has recorded a double-double in each of the past four games while also coming just two assists shy of a triple-double against the Boston Celtics.
The Warriors are coming off an absolute demolition of the LA Clippers Saturday, in which Golden State scored 144 points while shooting 62 percent from the floor. Steph Curry was a big reason for the huge win with the All-Star notching 43 points while shooting 15-of-23 from the floor and 9-of-15 from deep. Curry has now scored 20-plus points in 13 consecutive games.
