Why the Warriors can cover

The Warriors will have a new look this season, but one constant remains: Two-time NBA MVP Steph Curry. The 36-year-old point guard is a 10-time All-Star selection and showed no signs of slowing down last season. Curry averaged 26.4 points, 5.1 assists, and 4.5 rebounds in 2023-24. 

Curry’s supporting cast includes several familiar names with Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, and Jonathan Kuminga all back for another season together. Buddy Hield, who was acquired during the offseason will help ease some of the pain of losing Klay Thompson during the offseason. See which team to pick here.

Why the Trail Blazers can cover

The Blazers have much higher expectations entering this season than they did in year’s past. Portland has a very talented and athletic front court that will present matchup issues for Golden State. Forwards Deni Avdija and Jerami Grant are explosive scorers, and center Deandre Ayton is a double-double machine.

Rookie Donovan Clingan provides some much-needed front court depth, and is a proven winner. Portland’s backcourt is led by veterans Anfernee Simons and Scoot Henderson. Both players are young and extremely athletic. See which team to pick here.
