Key Storylines
- Golden State Warriors: The Warriors have started the season strong with a 2-0 record. Their offense is firing on all cylinders, highlighted by Stephen Curry’s 42-point performance in their last game against the Denver Nuggets. Jimmy Butler and Jonathan Kuminga have also contributed significantly on offense. But the Warriors are playing for the second night in a row and we could see them struggle to maintain their level of energy throughout this game.
- Portland Trail Blazers: The Blazers are coming off a season-opening loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The team is dealing with off-court distractions following head coach Chauncey Billups’ arrest, which has led to interim coach Tiago Splitter taking over. This situation may affect the team’s focus and performance on the court. But the Blazers have a rest advantage here and will try to make the most of that.

Final Thoughts
This should be a close game from Portland on Friday night. Golden State has fatigue concerns to deal with in this game, with Portland is dealing with the absence of their head coach due to a gambling scandal. It’s hard to get a read on either of these teams going into this matchup. But I’ll take the Trail Blazers to steal this game in what should be a fun and chaotic matchup from Portland.
