The Dubs have won four straight against Portland, including a stirring 118-112 victory in Chase Center on Gary Payton II’s ring night.
But since then the Dubs are battling adversity. Face of the franchise Stephen Curry is out with a lower leg injury that will sideline him for several games.

The Dubs are coming off a big win over the Oklahoma City Thunder that saw the resurgence of Super Klay Thompson.
Klay Thompson made 12 3-pt FG against the Thunder Monday night, marking the 4th-most made threes in a game in NBA history.

They’re going to need another performance like that to knock off the Blazers, who are hungry for a win after dropping two straight to the Milwaukee Bucks and Chicago Bulls.
