Golden State Warriors vs Portland Trail Blazers. The NBA pick for this game is the Golden State Warriors.
Golden State is performing admirably in the final stretch, positioning itself to secure a definite postseason spot rather than needing to compete in the play-in event.
It’s even more advantageous for the Warriors to play Portland, which is playing out the string, is injured, and is playing the second game of a back-to-back.
Golden State is dangerous for anybody they play in the postseason because they are currently still reasonably healthy at this point in the season.
In order to end the regular season on a high note, the Warriors should comfortably defeat a Portland club that is merely going through the motions. The Golden State Warriors will win to a predicted score of 117-109.
