What you need to know about the Warriors

The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 109-104 on Sunday, despite their lacklustre play. Donte DiVincenzo, a small forward who ended with 21 points, five assists, and eight rebounds, and shooting guard Klay Thompson, who shot 6 of 14 from outside the arc and finished with 32 points and five boards, were key in Golden State's victory. Steph Curry, an All-Star guard, won't be available for the Warriors once again. Curry's absence has been filled by Thompson (22.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game) and Jordan Poole (20.7 points, 4.6 assists, and 2.8 rebounds per game). The Warriors haven't exactly established themselves on defence with an average of 118.1 points per game, which might be an issue against Damian Lillard and the Blazers.

What you need to know about the Trail Blazers

On the other hand, Rip City defeated the Houston Rockets 131-114 on Sunday thanks to more than enough points to win. Damian Lillard, the Trail Blazers' point guard, seized charge and led the team with 71 points (a staggering 54% of their total), six assists, and six rebounds. Lillard is still performing at a very high level and has a chance to challenge for the NBA scoring crown in 2022–23. This season, the point guard, who is 32 years old, has averaged 32.3 points, 7.2 assists, and 4.3 rebounds per game. Jerami Grant, a small forward for the Blazers, has been quite effective this year, averaging 20.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game.
