Premium Pick

Portland looks to avenge a 127-104 loss to the Warriors on Nov. 1 and it comes off a 132-120 loss at Denver after blowing out Oklahoma City 114-95 on Tuesday. Damian Lillard exploded for 40 points with 10 assists and C.J. McCollum added 23 points against the Nuggets, but it wasn't enough as Denver shot 51.2 percent from the field. Golden State is only 11-15-1 ATS this season as big point spreads continue to hamper its bettors. The Warriors beat the Knicks 103-90 on Thursday, but didn't cover as a 17-point favorite and now the Warriors are 0-5 ATS their last five contests. Also, Golden State has not covered its last four games after scoring at least 100 points its previous game. Once again, look for the underdog to cover the number. Take the generous points and play the Trailblazers.
