Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors are on a roll, and that’ll likely continue on Monday night against the Portland Trail Blazers.
The pregame narrative: Golden State is at home with a rest advantage against a Trail Blazers squad sitting outside the postseason picture. Look for Curry to stay active as a scorer and for Donovan Clingan to chip in for Portland on the glass.
Check out my Trail Blazers vs. Warriors SGP predictions for March 10.
Trail Blazers vs. Warriors predictions
Parlay: Warriors -9.5 | Clingan 8+ rebounds | Curry over 27.5 points (+310)
Warriors -9.5 (-177): The Jimmy Butler effect has been a huge plus for the Warriors.
The six-time all-star is fitting in seamlessly, with 17.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game with his new squad (12 games).
On a team level, the Warriors are 9-2-1 ATS (11-1 SU) in the games he’s played.
That includes a 2-0-1 ATS mark at home, and two of those wins came by 20-plus points (vs. Hornets, Mavericks).
Portland is playing on a back-to-back tonight after dropping three straight games SU and ATS. Given that the Warriors beat the Blazers on the road by 36 earlier this year, a double-digit margin of any kind should be within reach for the hosts on Monday.
NBA SGP legs
Clingan 8+ rebounds (-275): Clingan’s opportunities have fluctuated throughout the season, which is often how it goes for a rookie. But he’s getting consistent starts right now, and the production is starting to follow.
- In his past 11 games (all starts), Clingan has averaged 9.4 rebounds.
- As a starter this season, he’s averaging 9.6 rebounds in 21 matchups.
Last night, the 7-foot-2 UConn product snagged nine boards against the Pistons. He’s cashed this bet in all three starts this year when playing on zero rest, so that aspect doesn’t discourage me.
Also, the Warriors allow the third-most rebounds to opposing centres (16.38), per Betting Pros.
Curry over 27.5 points (-125): I took the over on Cade Cunningham’s points prop against the Blazers last night and it cashed. Let’s go back to that well by targeting another point guard against Portland.
- The Blazers allow the fifth-most PPG to opposing point guards (25.59).
- Curry has 28+ points in 10 of his past 15 games.
Since Butler joined the squad, Curry has averaged 30.4 PPG with 50.0/42.2/91.7 shooting splits. Much like Golden State’s season as a whole, Curry looks rejuvenated.
Back in January, when LaVine was still with the Chicago Bulls, he dropped 35 points in Los Angeles while shooting 5-for-12 from beyond the arc.
Way back in the 2024-25 season opener, Curry had 17 points in 25 minutes against the Blazers in a blowout win. There is some blowout potential tonight, but if that happens, hopefully, it’s because Curry has already filled the net several times over.
