Live NBA Betting
This late night matchup on ESPN will include live in-game betting at our online sportsbook. This matchup between the Blazers and Warriors should go down to the wire and be a great one to wager on.
Portland 5-9 ATS on the Road
The Blazers are one of those teams in the NBA that is just so much better at home than on the road. Portland has just been a mess on the road this season and it is hard to make a case for taking them in road games until they prove they can win.
Warriors Offense Rolling
Monta Ellis is leading Golden State in scoring and when he is on fire the Warriors are a good team. Lately he has been really good and Golden State is worth watching. The Warriors are still a little overvalued at home as they have a losing record against the spread.
Game Notes
Golden State won three of four against Portland last season. Normally the matchups between these two teams are high scoring although last year it was Portland winning 96-95 at home against the Warriors. Golden State has owned Portland at Oracle Arena, winning 11 of the last 12. Portland is the better team than Golden State but the Blazers have not won a season series from Golden State since 2002-2003. Last year the Warriors outscored the Blazers 105.5-92.8, in the four games last year. Golden State is 9-1 against the basketball betting odds at home in the last ten meetings against Portland.
NBA Predictions
The trends say Golden State in this game but Portland is the better team. We’ll avoid picking a side and look to the total. Both teams are high scoring squads and this game should see a lot of points on Wednesday night so we’ll go with the over.
