Portland is 6-22 against Golden State since January of 2016, but they'll have a chance to close the gap on Monday.
Trail Blazers and Warriors face off against one another at 10:30 p.m. ET at Chase Center. Portland have insisted on making their last four contests complete nail-biters, turning in a record of 2-2 during that stretch of close contests.
The Trail Blazers needed just one more bucket to secure the win, but they couldn't get it done before the clock hit zeroes and lost 129-128. They got a solid performance out of G Damian Lillard, who shot 8 for 11 from beyond the arc and finished with 33 points, nine assists and five rebounds; unfortunately, it just wasn't enough for the win.
Meanwhile, Golden State was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Saturday as they fell 93-87 to Charlotte. SG Damion Lee wasn't much of a difference maker for Golden State; he finished with 13 points on 5-for-11 shooting in his 26 minutes on the court.
Portland is the favorite in this one, with an expected 9.5-point margin of victory. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (2-0), so they might be worth a quick bet.
With the two teams each stumbling in off of a defeat, both will be hungry for the victory. We'll see which team satisfies their hunger and which team leaves with an empty stomach.
