Betting on the Golden State Warriors
- Regular Season Record: 43-38

Betting on the Portland Trail Blazers
- Regular Season Record: 33-48
Portland is playing only to fulfill the last game of its schedule, since it has been out of the postseason race for several rounds, and for that reason its reserves have added more minutes in the most recent challenges.
The Trail Blazers are closing the regular season on a back-to-back after their visit to the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday, prior to that game the team had accumulated 13 losses in 15 games played.
As if this bad streak were not enough, they have the fifth-worst record in the league playing at home, with 17 wins and 23 losses. Also, they have the fourth-worst defensive efficiency, allowing 118.3 points per 100 possessions.
JefeBet Prediction
The relevance of this game is all about the Warriors’ playoff situation. If they win, they secure a direct spot in the playoffs, aiming for fifth or sixth place. However, if they lose, the scenario could change dramatically depending on other games that will be played simultaneously.
The urgency to win will have Steve Kerr’s team focused, which gives it an advantage over the Portland team. The Trail Blazers are just playing to fulfill their obligations and they have already begun planning for the next season. These are some of the reasons why, at JefeBet, we believe the visiting team is capable of dominating the game and mark a significant difference on the final score.
Predictions: Golden State Warriors Spread (GSW 127-100 POR).
