Key facts

• Jusuf Nurkic, Justice Winslow, Ibou Badji and Keon Johnson are out for the Blazers 
• Steph Curry, Andre Iguodala and Ryan Rollins are out for the Warriors
• The Warriors have won the last 7 games against the Blazers

The Portland Trail Blazers had a good start of the season but things were not going so well in the past couple of months. They are in the bottom third of the conference and will have to step up as soon as possible. They have lost the last two games overall and the last 7 against the Warriors. This may be their chance to end both series as Steph Curry will sit this one out for the Warriors. The Blazers have plenty of scoring options on their team and one of them is Jerami Grant. The forward averages 20.7 points per game which is higher than the given margin of 19.5 on him for tonight's game. I am suggesting the under options and here is why. Playing alongside Damian Lillard who has a lot to prove against the Warriors, Anfernee Simmons and Josh Hart whose minutes and shot per game have increased in the last 2 weeks, will not leave many shots for Grant. That has been the case in the last couple of games as he hasn't scored more than 13 points in the last 3 games and is averaging 16.7 in the last 10 games. Grant will have difficult duties on the defensive end guarding Andrew Wiggins and maybe Klay Thompson at some point. Given all that, betting on him under 19.5 is the right pick.
