Golden State at Portland

They're breaking up that old gang of mine! Golden State lost Klay Thompson to Dallas and failed to add any star power to replace him in the offseason. Portland is off a lost season because of injuries, but they have a very good trio to build around. Center Deandre Ayton (16.7 points, 11.1 rebounds per game) is back along with forward Jerami Grant (21 ppg) and guard Anfernee Simons (22.6 points per game). Center Robert Williams III provides shot blocking and frontcourt muscle. He's healthy after playing in just six games a year ago. The Blazers have big bodies up front that match up well against the finesse Warriors, who are the shortest and lightest team in the NBA. Play Portland.
