 The Trailblazers face elimination here tonight as they are down 0-3. They had another chance at a win in game three leading by 13 points at the half. However, a 13-point third quarter followed by a 20-point fourth quarter and the Blazers lost 99-110. That makes two games in a row that they have led by double digits only to lose. Makes you wonder how they can have any confidence in any lead they get, knowing that the Warriors have the ability to come back. Their can't be a lot left in the tank tonight for the Blazers. I'm taking Golden State as they look for the sweep.

Both these clubs bring a losing streak into tonight's contest. The Diamondbacks have lost their last two games, while the Padres have lost three straight. Both clubs will have good starters going tonight. Arizona starts Luke Weaver who is 3-2 in his nine starts with a 3.16 ERA and 1.111 WHIP. Weaver has not allowed more than three runs in any of his last eight starts. The Padres will send Chris Paddack to the hill tonight. Paddack is 3-2 in his eight starts with a nice 1.99 ERA and 0.750 WHIP. Like Weaver, Paddack has not allowed more than three runs in any of his eight starts this season. This looks to be a low scoring contest tonight. I'm taking UNDER.
