It was all academic for the Warriors in Game One as they cruised to a 121-109 win over the Blazers. The Blazers never led by more than a basket at any given point while Golden State sat in the cover zone with a 16-point lead at one stage in the affair. Portland had a good shooting performance overall but Golden State completely lit the Oracle Arena up with a 53.1% night from the field and a plus-40% performance from beyond the arc.

With Portland sitting at 41-42 SU, they are more or less what we call a “what you see is what you get” kind of team as they come in at 42-41 against the spread. The Warriors stand at an incredible 68-15 straight up. However, against the spread, the Warriors have fallen 40-40-3 further reinforcing the fact they are prone to being overvalued by their pedigree of being the best team in the NBA. On the year, the Warriors are 37-5 SU in Oakland. Portland is 16-26 SU when away from Rip City.

Portland Trailblazers at Golden State Warriors Prediction
We have said it before, when you get Golden State at home, you are likely to play a hefty premium. However, in this situation that may not be the case. Many forget here that with respect to Golden State’s prowess in Oakland, the market will be all the more reluctant to come off what is most of the time an inflated number. The notion that Portland has generated so much steam illustrates that a tremendous amount of revenue is coming in on Rip City. The fact remains, Portland is not a good basketball team on the road and they are clearly overmatched and outgunned against this Golden State team. Look for the Warriors to take the opportunity to make this contest an emphatic victory before heading out to Portland for two games.
