Golden State will likely be without Kevin Durant for at least Game 1. The Warriors have adjusted well to Durant’s injury with Klay Thompson coming up big and more of the same will be seen on Tuesday. Portland will not have guard Rodney Hood due to an injured knee and the Trail Blazers will suffer somewhat of a letdown following their emotional Game 7 win on the road Sunday. Final Score Prediction, Golden State Warriors win and cover ATS 115-104
