Blazers vs. Warriors prediction and odds for Tuesday, February 28 (Expect high-scoring game)

Fresh off a 71-point game, Damian Lillard is looking to lead the Portland Trail Blazers to a road win over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night.

Golden State is still without Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins, but the team has moved into the No. 7 spot in the West with back-to-back wins.

The Blazers (11th in the West) are missing Jusuf Nurkic, Anfernee Simons and Justice Winslow on Tuesday.

With so many key players out on both sides, how should we bet on this matchup?

Blazers vs. Warriors prediction and pick

The first time these teams faced off this season was in Portland, and they combined for 247 points in a Blazers win.

The Warriors have been an elite OVER team this season, playing at the fastest pace in the NBA and ranking 18th in defensive rating.

At home in the 2022-23 campaign, Golden State has hit the OVER 19 times in 31 games (63.3 percent).

Portland is 14-15 on OVERs on the road, but Lillard is on an all-time hot streak right now. With Steph Curry out, I expect this to be a close game given the talent on both sides.

I’ll roll with the Warriors’ over trend tonight.
