*8* play on the Trailblazers.

The Golden State Warriors are steamrolling the opposition this season, and they have a legitimate chance to break the NBA record for the best regular season, currently held by Jordan's Bulls. Tonight's game might be a bit of a tough one, as they are a big favorite on the road at Portland. My money is on the Blazers plus the points.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Trail Blazers are 7-1 ATS in their last eight versus the Western Conference, and they've won eight of their last nine overall.

2. Home Cookin' - The Blazers have a solid record at home (16-11), and they've covered the spread in five of their last seven at home. Their last home game was an impressive 116-103 win over Houston.

3. X-Factor - After an All Star snub, you can bet that Damian Lillard will be playing with a chip on his shoulder tonight. He's coming off back-to-back 30+ point games.

Selection: This is a play on the Portland Trail Blazers (8*)
