The Warriors welcome the Trail Blazers to Oracle tonight, hoping to make it four in a row before they start a stretch of 8 out of 9 on the road. What to watch for tonight:
- Another Gift: LaMarcus Aldridge sprained his ankle last night and didn’t make the trip to Oakland. The Warriors need to take advantage of that and the fact that the Blazers played last night.
- Rebounds: Don’t look now, but the Warriors have outrebounded 3 of their last 4 opponents. The Warriors were outrebounded by 13 the last time the played the Blazers and still won — but I’d still love to see them getting a bit closer to even tonight, especially with Aldridge out.
- Big Mo: With the coming time away from Oracle, this is a win the Warriors desperately need. Nothing would put an end to their momentum like losing to a short-handed Blazers team playing on the back half of a back to back — right before a big stretch of road games.
