The set-up: The Warriors are going to make sure Kevin Durant is 100 percent healthy before putting him back on the floor now that the team owns a 3-0 lead in this first round series with the Blazers. However, it's not just KD, as Golden State is working through injuries to Shaun Livingston (finger) and Matt Barnes (foot) plus is without head coach Steve Kerr. After falling behind 2-0, the Trail Blazers looked energized by playing in front of their home fans on Saturday night. They built up a 17-point lead but the Warriors used a 19-1 second-half run to get the crowd out of the game. "They took it up another level," Portland headcoach Terry Stotts told reporters of Golden State. "They defended very well, created turnovers. Our offense kind of stagnated a little bit, they pushed it out in transition as well as they have so far in this series. I think they made three threes during the stretch. It's what that do, they put a run on you."

Golden State: Curry's 34 points led the way in Golden State's 119-113 win on Saturday, with Thompson chipping in 24. Green had a quiet Game 3 but he's averaging almost a triple-double for the series (11.3-10.7-8.7). Then there is reserve center JaVale McGee, who scored 14 points on 6-for-8 shooting in Game 3, while grabbing four rebounds, all in just 16 minutes. McGee has made 16 of 19 shots in the series and is averaging 11.7 points and 4.7 rebounds in just 13 minutes a game!

Portland: Center Jusuf Nurkic (leg fracture) missed the first two games but Portland received a noticeable boost from the big man when he returned for Game 3. However, he's nowhere near 100 percent and his effectiveness diminished the longer he stayed on the floor. "Obviously (Nurkic) had a big impact on the game," Stotts told reporters. "We got off to a good start. Obviously, when he was on the floor he made a difference with his passing, his rebounding. He didn't necessarily look to score but I thought he complemented everybody out there very well." Nurkic reported soreness in the leg after the contest and is not expected to play in Game 4.

The pick: The Blazers were competitive in Games 1 and 3, when Lillard and McCollum combined to score 75 points (Game 1) and 63 points (Game 3). However, when they combined to score just 23 points in Game 2 (on 9 of 38 shooting), the result was a 110-81 Golden State blowout. The Warriors are facing more than just injuries to important players. Kerr sat out Game 3 due to chronic back pain and he will not coach tonight. He is consulting with doctors but told reporters he could miss the remainder of the postseason if his back does not improve. That said, the Warriors are used to being without Kerr after he sat out half of the 2015-16 campaign while dealing with complications and pain following back surgery. Through everything, the Warriors have averaged 116.7 PPG in opening a 3-0 lead and Portland's only chance is to outscore them in Game 4. Make the Over a 10* play.
