Portland at Golden State

Last year through two games the Golden State warriors had allowed opponents to achieve the century mark in 19 of them. This season they are running just about 50-50 allowing opponents to the 100 point mark, so a vastly different approach. Portland will be conscious of the Warriors offense here and this is a team that when they put forth the effort can defend very well which has kept nine teams in the 80s or less already this season. That has certainly been their mantra after allowing 100+ in their last game, following by playing 11-3 to the UNDER in their last 14. Golden State's new resolve to the defensive end has led them to an 18-6 mark to the UNDER in their last 24 as a favorite. Play on the UNDER.
