Golden State Warriors vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 10/24/25

It’s only been 2 games, but the Warriors look like an early contender. After taking care of business in the season opener against the Lakers, they proceeded to dismantle the Denver Nuggets at home on Thursday night. Stephen Curry turned back the clock with 42 points, including 6 threes, as all 5 Warriors starters scored in double figures. The win now means that the Warriors are 28-8 SU in games where Curry, Butler and Draymond all play. The importance of Butler cannot be overstated. Since his arrival, the Warriors average almost 5 free throw attempts more per game, while also shooting 11% better from the charity stripe. Friday night sees the Warriors head to Portland in their first back-to-back scenario of the year. It’ll be interesting to see how the oldest squad in the NBA approaches this one.

Portland is in an odd situation here. They’ll be without their head coach on Friday after Chauncey Billups got arrested following an FBI gambling investigation. Thiago Splitter will take over as the head coach now, as the Blazers look to win their first game of the season. On opening night, we saw Jerami Grant moved to the bench, which didn’t have a negative impact on him considering he exploded for 29 points in the 4-point loss to Minnesota. Devin Avdija also had 20. Portland’s only chance of getting a result here is the fact that the Warriors are playing their 2nd game in less than 24 hours. This has been a one-sided affair with the visitors winning 9 straight games head-to-head. Portland has also dropped 5 straight at home against this team.

With us not knowing which team will show up for the Warriors, I’m more comfortable playing the totals market. The over has cashed in 5 of 6 for the Warriors, including 4 of 5 vs. West opponents. Portland is 5-2 on the O/U in 7 home games and 5-2 in games vs Western Conference opponents. The 2 teams have averaged 228.8 points per game in the last 10 meetings. I’ll be backing the points in this one.
