Notable stars :
DeAndre Ayton is Portland’s top star with an average of 16.7 points and 11.2 rebounds per game. But in the past few weeks, Dalano Banton has emerged as a phenomenon with an average of more than 20 points and 5 assists in the last 10 appearances.
On the Golden State Warriors side, Stephen Curry leads with an average of 26.4 points and 5.1 assists. Klay Thompson is right behind with 15.1 points and relatively stable long-range shooting performance over the past 10 games.
As two teams with two very different directions, the Blazers are preparing for the NBA Draft and looking ahead to next year’s season, while the Warriors are still thirsty for victory to find the most beneficial position for the upcoming Play-in round.
Portland plays at home, but losing the last 5 matches at Moda Center does not help the Blazers much. On the other side of the field, Golden State is one of the teams that plays away from home relatively well since All-Star.
Another notable piece of information is that the Warriors will have almost the strongest squad, including Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. This healthy trio alone is enough to cause the Portland Trail Blazers to suffer another heavy defeat at the end of the season.
With the above information, experts choose the Golden State Warriors as the team that can win big in this match to maintain their promotion goal.
Experts say: Golden State Warriors -14.5 O/222.5
