Sunday's NBA play






Play: Golden State +4.5 -105

Time: 9 p.m. ET

Reasoning: This contest is meaningful to both teams for playoff-seeding purposes, so you don't have to worry about one squad wanting it more than the other. According to my power rankings, Portland should be favored by just 1.5 points. The Trail Blazers are just 10-19 straight up this season against Top 10 teams. Portland has won seven of its last eight games, but the last three wins have come against New Orleans, Sacramento and Utah. The Warriors have won five of the last six meetings and two straight in Oregon. Golden State erased an 18-point dificit to eke out a 113-112 victory at Moda Center on March 16. The Warriors also got David Lee back on Friday after a seven-game absence and they likely will have Andre Iguodala back tonight after he missed Friday's game. Golden State also has advantages in overall shooting, three-point shooting, defensive rebounding, steals and blocks.
 
Record: 43-28-3 (60.6%)
