The Portland Trail Blazers head to the Bay Area to face the Golden State Warriors in a Western Conference matchup on January 13, 2026. The Blazers are fighting to climb above .500, riding a recent hot streak with four wins in their last five games, fueled by strong third-quarter performances and efficient scoring.

This game could hinge on perimeter shooting and rebounding, with Golden State’s experience potentially overwhelming Portland’s youth amid key injuries on both sides. Golden State is favored at home, looking to build on their recent dominance in the series.

G Matisse Thybulle (UCL left thumb surgery): Out.
G Scoot Henderson (Torn left hamstring): Out/Day-to-Day.

Key Player Matchups
With injuries forcing adjustments, these battles emphasize Golden State’s veteran savvy against Portland’s athleticism, particularly in the paint and on the perimeter.
Anfernee Simons (POR G) vs. Stephen Curry (GSW G): Simons’ explosive scoring (22+ PPG recently) vs. Curry’s unlimited range (28.8 PPG). Curry’s off-ball movement could exploit Portland’s weakened backcourt, but Simons’ speed might create transition opportunities.
Deandre Ayton (POR C) vs. Draymond Green (GSW F): Ayton’s rebounding (10+ RPG) and interior presence vs. Green’s defensive versatility (5.5 APG, elite playmaking). Green’s probable status adds physicality to contain Ayton’s post game.
Shaedon Sharpe (POR G) vs. Andrew Wiggins (GSW F): Sharpe’s athleticism vs. Wiggins’ two-way play. Sharpe could thrive in open court, but Wiggins’ defense might limit second-chance points.
Toumani Camara (POR F) vs. Jonathan Kuminga (GSW F): Camara’s energy vs. Kuminga’s rebounding (6.2 RPG). This matchup could decide bench production.
