Golden State Warriors vs Portland Trail Blazers
PREVIEW: The Portland Trail Blazers will attempt to end a four-game losing streak when they travel to face the Golden State Warriors on Friday, November 21, 2025 at Chase Center. Portland enters the matchup at 6-9 while Golden State sits at 9-8 , setting up a crucial Western Conference battle between two teams searching for consistency. The Warriors are favored by 7.5 points , reflecting their home-court advantage and recent form. Deni Avdija has emerged as Portland's primary offensive threat, averaging a career-high 25.9 points while also ranking second on the team in rebounds and assists.
The Trail Blazers dominated their previous meeting against Golden State with a 139-119 victory on October 25, with Avdija scoring 26 points in that decisive win. However, Portland faces a significant obstacle as Jrue Holiday has missed three straight games with a knee injury and Shaedon Sharpe sat out their latest loss, leaving the backcourt depleted against Stephen Curry. The Warriors are expected to have Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green available after resting key players during their recent road trip. While shot quality data remains unavailable for both squads, the Warriors' home-court excellence and the Trail Blazers' mounting injury concerns will likely prove decisive in this NBA Cup matchup.
