The Warriors looked great in the preseason and the Blazers might be the worst team in the league. Golden State's offseason additions have slid right into the random rhythms of playing alongside Stephen Curry. I like this team long term, and I like them big on opening night.

For the first time since 2011 the Golden State Warriors will open the season without Klay Thompson. That may have a subtle impact on the Warriors for opening night against Portland. In last year’s four matchups the under was 3-1 overall. Additionally, the Trailblazers have one of the worst shooting backcourts in the NBA. Anfernee Simons shot 43 percent last year, and Scoot Henderson 39 percent. Take the under Wednesday night.

Golden State's Brandin Podziemski averaged 9.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists last season as a rookie in 26.6 minutes per night, but his role should increase this year with Klay Thompson gone. Podz could top this just in points, and there should be plenty of scoring Wednesday as Portland can't defend.
