NBA *HARDWOOD HAMMER*
(NBA) Portland vs. Golden State,
Point Spread: 14.50 | -110.00 Portland (Away)
Result: Win
Play: Portland Trail Blazers
Rating: 8/10*

The #1 Golden State Warriors are asked to cover a bunch of points in Game 1 of their round 1 matchup with the #8 Portland Trail Blazers.

Portland closed out the regular season with three straight wins before resting key players in the season finale. The Trail Blazers are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games overall, Warriors are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games overall.

Golden State won the last two meetings by an average of only five points, and I like the underdog here at Oracle Arena Sunday afternoon.
