Pick: Stephen Curry Over 25.5 Points (-115)
Final Result: 14 Points
Final Score: Warriors 103, Blazers 86
The streak was strong — but every heater cools eventually.
After eight straight wins in the Build the Bankroll Challenge, we finally took an L — and it came from a spot where blowout risk was very real.
🧊 What Happened?
The Warriors crushed the Blazers from the opening tip and never looked back. Steph played just 29 minutes, didn’t see the floor late in the game, and simply didn’t need to do much in this one.
- 14 points
- 4-of-13 shooting
- 2-of-8 from three
- No free throw attempts
- Game was out of reach midway through the third quarter
When you’re backing an elite scorer, you need volume — and in this one, the Warriors didn’t need Steph to be Steph.
📉 Key Takeaways:
1. Blowout risk = limited opportunity
We flagged this risk in the preview, and unfortunately, it played out exactly that way. Curry sat most of the 4th quarter and was passive offensively.
2. Process was still solid
The matchup, form, and playoff stakes made this a smart target — but variance (and game script) are always part of the equation.
3. Bankroll remains strong
Even after the loss, we sit at +6.07 units through 9 plays — and that’s exactly why we stick to flat betting and high-value spots.
💡 Betting Reminder:
You can make the right call and still lose. That’s why the long-term mindset matters. One bet doesn’t define us — the strategy does.
We reset, refocus, and get ready for the next pick!
