Trail Blazers vs Warriors Prediction, Picks & Player Props: Dame Time or a Poole Party?

Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers roll into the Bay to take on Klay Thompson and the Golden State Warriors in a Western Conference battle.

It should be a shootout tonight from start to finish with two of the hottest shooters in the league going shot for shot.

Got 71 reasons to tune in tonight.

Will Dame drop 71 points again tonight?

Probably not but it will for sure be must see TV in the Bay tonight any time Lillard takes the court.

Is it Dame Time again tonight or will we see a Poole Party in Chase Center?

Prediction

Oh, we are in for a good one tonight in the Bay.

Damian Lillard has been on an absolute tear, and just dropped a whopping 71 points on the lowly Rockets last game.

Dame's last 9 point totals before his 71?

39, 40, 38, 33, 28, 40, 29, 42, 42.

Like I said. Absolute heater.

That said, the Blazers have only won 2 of their last 5 and are 5-5 in their last 10.

Portland is currently 11th in the West but only 3 games separate themselves and the 4th place Suns.

The playoffs are in the Blazers sights but they need to keep finding ways to win games.

It is looking like that way is Dame Time.

Tonight, if the Warriors can slow down Lillard or atleast hold him to a pedestrian 30 points (hilarious right?) then the Warriors should win this game.

Pair slowing down Dame with a big night from Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole and the Warriors should walk out of the Chase Center tonight with a big win.

If both the Warriors stars come out to ball tonight, the Warriors should be able to handle Dame and the ballin' Blazers.

Rather than taking a side in this game, though, I am just going to take the over.

Both of these teams have the ability to score in bunches and don't play exceptional defense.

4 of the last 5 Blazers games have gone over the Total and the Warriors are 2nd in the league going over the Total.

Give me lots of buckets tonight in a fun one in the Bay.

Jordan Poole o23.5 (-135) Bet MGM

Spring is right around the corner and it is going to be a Poole Party tonight in the Bay.

Jordan Poole has been a bit cold the past 5 games, only topping 20+ points in 1 of the Warriors last 5.

But this is all about the matchup and our friends at BetAlytics and their predictive data love Poole as well!

BetAlytics has Poole going for 30 points tonight, with this being an A grade and a 7% Betting Edge.

It's worth every penny.

Back to Poole. No wonder the data points to a big night from Jordan tonight.

It makes total sense, because of how Poole plays against the Blazers.

Poole has torched Portland, going for 38 and 41 in the last 2 games against the Blazers.

The Blazers are also bottom 10 in the league defending the PG. All the stars align for a big night from Poole.

Bonus: Poole 30+ Points (+220)
