The set-up: This is a bad matchup for the Blazers. While the teams split four regular season meetings, Portland has had difficulties with Golden State's "smaller" or "shooting" line-up, with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson being the featured pieces in the offense, instead of Kevin Durant. Perhaps Portland would have done better with Durant in the lineup? We'll never know, but for whatever reason this particular line-up has given the Blazers difficulties in the postseason and I don't think anything changing for Game 4. Portland had it's best opportunity to get back into this series in Game 3, but once again it came up short in trying to defend Curry and company. I've also been thoroughly impressed with the Warriors' defense to this point. Portland's on the ropes and I look for the defending champs to put the final nail in the coffin.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Golden State is 4-1 ATS in its last five when leading 3-0 in a playoff series, while Portland is just 4-7 ATS this year off an upset loss as a favorite. I like Golden State on the MONEY-LINE in Game 4.
