Golden State Warriors vs Portland Trail Blazers Predicted Starting Lineups and Depth Charts for Oct. 24 | 2025-26 NBA Season

The Golden State Warriors vs Portland Trail Blazers is one of the 12 regular-season matches scheduled for Friday in the NBA. The Warriors are coming into the matchup on a hot win streak. They have won their first two matchups, with their latest victory being a thrilling 137-131 overtime win over the Denver Nuggets.

On the other hand, the Portland Trail Blazers suffered a 118-114 loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves and are heading into the matchup with an ambition to get back on the winning track.

However, taking a win away from the Warriors will be a difficult task for the Blazers, especially when their head coach, Chauncey Billups, will be absent from the sideline. Billups is currently under arrest as a suspect in a federal investigation related to gambling and sports betting.

Assistant coach Tiago Splitter will serve as the interim head coach until the franchise decides on Billups's complicated case. The Dubs will look to make quick work of the Blazers and extend their winning streak, while Portland will try to deliver an upset and secure a win at their home ground.
