Premium Pick

This is not the same Golden State team as the last several years, as the Warriors are just 14-13 with a 12-5-1 ATS record. These teams have met twice this season and both were close wins by the Warriors, but Portland covered the spread in both, including a 118-114 loss on Sunday when the Warriors were favored by six points and they had to shoot 53 percent to get the victory. Golden State has won four in a row after defeating lowly Washington 129-118 last night and now they play a back-to-back. The Warriors are 2-8-1 ATS their past 11 games as favorites and 0-4-1 ATS after scoring more than 125 points their previous game. Also, Golden State is 0-4-1 ATS against teams with below .400 winning percentages. The Trail Blazers have covered eight of 11 as underdogs and five of their past six road games. Take the Trail Blazers.
