As for the game itself, you're always in for a show when Curry and Lillard are involved. Just last season, Curry erupted for a career-high 62 points against Lillard and the Trail Blazers, while the first 50-point game of Lillard's career came against Curry and the Warriors during the 2015-16 season.
While Curry is again playing at an MVP level, Lillard is finding his footing after a slow start to the season and the Blazers are reaping the benefits.

The Warriors, who have come in at first in the last two editions of SN's power rankings, enter Friday with a 6-1 record away from home. The Blazers, however, have a brilliant home court advantage with a 9-1 home record. The Moda Center isn't an easy place to get a win.
