Golden State Warriors Betting Preview
The Golden State Warriors will be aiming for a third straight victory after outlasting the Nuggets in a thrilling 137-131 overtime home win last night.

Portland Trail Blazers Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Portland Trail Blazers will be eager to bounce back in this spot after falling just short to the Timberwolves in a 118-114 home defeat on Wednesday. Jerami Grant led the team with 29 points on 10 of 14 shooting off the bench, Deni Avdija added 20 points, Shaedon Sharpe scored 15 points on five of 20 shooting, while Jrue Holiday chipped in with 14 points, six rebounds and seven assists.
As a team, the Trail Blazers shot just 40 percent from the field and 13 of 42 from the 3-point line. That was still good enough to hang onto a narrow lead all the way until the fourth quarter, where they went cold and managed just 19 points to allow the Timberwolves to run them down in the end.

Trail Blazers vs Warriors Prediction
The Warriors are still missing some role players with De’Anthony Melton and Moses Moody still out, while the Trail Blazers are missing Damian Lillard, Scoot Henderson, Robert Williams and their head coach Chauncey Billups. It’s always tough playing the second game of a back to back coming off an overtime game, but the season has only just begun.
So, I am sticking with the Warriors as underdogs, especially with the Trail Blazers dealing with the sudden suspension of their head coach. The Warriors are currently the hottest team in the league and I think they represent decent value as the underdogs in this spot.
