Portland Trail Blazers vs Golden State Warriors
PREVIEW: The Golden State Warriors invade the Moda Center to take on the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday night. Golden State has struggled recently, losing seven of their last 11 games overall , though Stephen Curry scored 39 points in his return from injury and helped the Warriors forge a late fourth quarter comeback attempt in their most recent outing. The Warriors are as healthy as they've been all season, and it's only a matter of time before they get hot and start stringing together wins. With no ShotQuality data available for Golden State, the focus remains on their overall offensive firepower and recent inconsistency on the road.
Portland has been cold lately, losing six of their last seven games. Portland's injury list includes several key players, making it tough to get into any kind of rhythm when half of the players in the rotation are out. There is some good news as Clingan and Williams III are both expected to play on Sunday. Similarly, the Trail Blazers have no ShotQuality data available, but their young roster will need contributions from Deni Avdija, who has shone in all 25 games with 25.4 points per game, 7.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists as they battle a dominant Warriors team.
