At the beginning of October Golden State secured a victory over Portland. Will the Warriors beat the Trail Blazers once again on December 31? The answer is in our prediction.
Command Analysis
Golden State Warriors
USAGolden State team is still playing without Stephen Curry, but Draymond Green should be ready for the game against Portland. He will surely help the Warriors on defense, but even without him team played well in recent matches.
San Francisco team secured victories in their latest games. Steve Kerr's men managed to beat Memphis (123:109), Charlotte (110:105) and Utah (112:107).
Portland Trail Blazers
USAPortland have all their players available, but Chauncey Billups' men were unsuccessful in recent matches. Trail Blazers have lost 3 of 4 latest games. Their only victory came from a game against Charlotte (124:113). Poor run of results made the team drop to 8th spot in the Western conference standings.
However, Portland side is quite successful on away games. Oregon team won 50% of their away matches, but most of their victories came from the start of the regular season.

Tip and bets
Golden State played well in recent matches, but this run can't go on forever. Warriors are not so strong without Andrew Wiggins and Stephen Curry. Portland will play with all of their leading players, Jerami Grant and Damian Lillard played well in recent games, so we are expecting a victory from the Trail Blazers.
Our prediction - Handicap (-2) points on Portland
Return of Green will surely improve Warriors' defensive game. In this case, teams are unlikely to score many points, so we offer to place a bet on total under.
Our second bet is on total under 234,5 points
