Where the price sits

At 81¢, the Trail Blazers are clear favorites; the Warriors are 19¢. The Trail Blazers opened at 61¢, so the price has moved 20¢ toward them since. Expect it to move once the teams say who is playing.

Who actually plays

Expect the regulars for a stint in each half at most, and some may sit out. The fourth quarter usually belongs to rookies, two-way players and camp invites trying to win a roster spot, so the final score often says little about either team. That is why this price follows availability news more than the teams’ full-strength quality.

Preseason minutes are usually set on the day. Each coach’s pregame session, 60 to 90 minutes before tip, is where it gets confirmed.
