Obviously it is impossible to get good value on the Warriors as the oddsmakers have finally caught up. Stephen Curry is playing through an injury. Oh by no means do I expect it to have a large effect, but handicapping is about finding a small edge here and another there. With the linesmakers taking so much action on Golden State and their star player being a bit less than 100 percent, that is a good start.

Portland has a backcourt that matches up pretty well against the best in the NBA. With only 16 of the Blazers 38 games so far at home, their stats are a little distorted making them undervalued. The line is about three-points off, which is huge in sharp betting.
