Why the Warriors can cover
Golden State has dominated Portland at home in recent years, winning three straight games by double digits when these teams have met in San Francisco. The Warriors have been nearly untouchable at home this season, going 15-2 in its 17 games at the Chase Center. They opened their current eight-game homestand with wins over Memphis, Charlotte and Utah.
Ty Jerome scored 14 points in the Christmas Day win over the Grizzlies, while rookie Patrick Baldwin Jr. scored 11 points in Wednesday's victory over the Jazz. Klay Thompson sat out against Utah due to a knee injury, but he is expected to return to his usual role on Friday. Golden State has covered the spread in seven of its last eight games against Western Conference opponents, while Portland has only covered once in its last five road games.
Why the Trail Blazers can cover
Portland is one of three teams in the NBA that has already recorded at least 10 road wins this season, so the Blazers will be confident coming into this matchup. Star guard Damian Lillard, who went to Oakland High School, has scored 30-plus points six times at Golden State. He poured in 34 points at Denver in Portland's most recent road game before dishing out nine assists in a 124-113 win against Charlotte on Monday.
Golden State is playing without star guard Stephen Curry (shoulder), who is the team's top scorer with 30.0 points per game. The Warriors will also be without Andrew Wiggins due to an illness, so two of their top three scoring options are sidelined. Portland has covered the spread in eight of its last 12 games.
