Golden State at Portland

Golden State is going nowhere except the NBA draft lottery -- and playing like it having lost eight of the last ten.  This is the end of a grueling stretch, playing six of the last seven on the road and they mailed it in the last game, a 123-84 loss at Denver. The Warriors were outrebounded 60-27 by the Nuggets! Since trading Monta Ellis and two other players to Milwaukee, Golden State is 4-14.  Portland  is unlikely to make the playoffs, but still in the race, 4.5 games behind Denver. The Blazers are outstanding at home, 19-11, and this is the middle of a nice three-game home stand. Portland has won two of the three meetings this season, including a 90-87 win at the Rose Garden on March 25, and will win again. Play Portland on the money-line.
