Golden State Warriors at Portland Trailblazers Prediction

Overall the public maneuvers in this affair has been that of a zig-zag with the lines themselves being relatively sharp given the fact the NBA’s best team is on the court. What we saw in Game One was everyone aboard Golden State at what was an inflated number to react in Game Two with a driven down price on Golden State that afforded Warriors takers a chance to step in then and there. In Game Three, a similar situation followed suit with a perceived home court advantage being given to Rip City and now the Blazers have failed to cover as the popular option in their last two games with a sweep seeming to be on the horizon. Now is the perfect time to take Portland when there is little faith vested in them as they try to avert a sweep on their own floor at all costs.
