If there is a game in this series that Portland has the best chance to win, it is this one. The Trail Blazers are in a desperate situation down 0-2 to the defending champions. The Blazers faded at the end of Tuesday's game as Golden State's depth was too much to handle in the 110-99 loss that barely covered the spread for the Warriors. C.J. McCollum and Damian Lillard did their part combining for 47 points and Mason Plumlee grabbed 11 rebounds. However, Portland turned the ball over 17 times compared to 10 for the Warriors. If the Blazers can take better care of the ball they can keep this one close as they are 9-3 ATS after a loss of 10-plus points. Also, the home team has covered the last five meetings, and Stephen Curry will likely be out again for Game 3. Take the points and play the Trail Blazers.
