Golden State Warriors minus-5 at Portland Trailblazers: $440 to win $400
The Warriors are 8-2 in their last 10 with an identical 8-2 ATS mark. After dealing with double-digit lines all season, they got to the playoffs and (mostly) showed that they’re utterly dominant with or without Steph Curry.
So betting Golden State games right now seems pretty simple to me. If you think they’re going to win, bet on the Warriors to cover, too, because more often than not that’s what they do when favored by these short numbers. I don’t see Portland getting this series to 2-2, so look for Golden State by eight tonight.
