Golden State Warriors 1-10 win margin over Portland Trail Blazers (+210)
You’re telling me that we can get +120 odds for a team that has the best home record in the NBA right now and is currently on a 3-game winning streak? Sign me up. The Warriors might be without Steph Curry, but Jordan Poole has more than filled his shoes averaging 25.1 points per game over his last 10 outings. He matches up with Damian Lillard tonight and although Lillard might have the edge experience-wise, I wouldn’t discount Pool and the Warriors at all here.
Portland has just 1 win in 4 games, they’ve been average at best on the road with a 10-10 record and when it comes to games played at Chase Center they’ve gotten beaten in 18 of their last 20 visits. Just like their opponent tonight, the Blazers are also missing Justise Winslow and Gary Payton II which is a big blow to their defensive aspirations here. With 11 wins in their last 12 home games played on a Friday, I think backing the Warriors is a no-brainer tonight.
Jordan Poole over 3.5 made threes (+114)
Portland’s lack of three-point defending should really work in favor of Jordan Poole here. The Blazers are allowing 37% of made threes in their last 3 games, ranking in the bottom 10 of the NBA during that span. Although his efficiency has dropped a little over the past 5 games or so, Poole is still averaging 2.9 makes from the perimeter in the month of December. He’s also on a run of 3 consecutive games of 2 made threes against Portland, but it’s worth noting that Stephen Curry played in all 3 of those games, who eats up a lot of three-point attempts for the rest of the team.
With Curry out of the picture, Poole has attempted double-digit threes in 4 of his last 6 games. If that happens again tonight, there’s a good chance he nails 4 of them against the weak perimeter defense that the Blazers have.

Anfernee Simons under 3.5 made threes (+106)
Another guy I’m expecting to let it fly from three-point land tonight is Anfernee Simons. He’s currently 2nd on the team attempting 10.1 threes per game, and only Damian Lillard shoots more. The question is, how many will he make? Well, he’s currently on a mini run of back-to-back games in which he failed to make 4 threes and over his last 10 he’s shooting 34.4% from downtown, a number that’s considered nothing special in today’s NBA.
Perimeter defending has been a staple of the Warriors during their current 3-game win streak, opponents are shooting just 27.6% from three in those 3 games. For the entire season, that number is at 29.3% at Chase Center, so the Blazers might find it difficult to hit the target in this game. In 9 career games he’s failed to score 4 threes 7 times against Golden State, so I’m hoping he has another bad game tonight which would certainly help us land our bet.
