Portland Trail Blazers vs Golden State Warriors Predicted Starting Lineups and Depth Charts for Oct. 8 | 2025 WNBA Preseason

The Portland Trail Blazers and Golden State Warriors will lock horns for a 2025 WNBA preseason game on Wednesday. Portland will play its first game, while the Warriors will play their second. Golden State beat the LA Lakers 111-103 in its opener on Sunday.

Moses Moody made amends after starting the contest over Al Horford, tallying 19 points on 7 of 9 shooting. He made five triples on seven attempts. Steph Curry also tipped his preseason off in style, with a 14-point half on 5 of 7 shooting. Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green didn't have flashy games, but they played their roles to perfection.

The Trail Blazers come into their first game with a new-look roster amid the additions of Damian Lillard and Jrue Holiday. However, Lillard won't play for the foreseeable future amid recovery from an Achilles tear. Portland will look to rely on its younger players more in this game and for most of the season.

As expected, the Warriors will be the favorites with a -8.5-point spread, with a -360 money line. The Trail Blazers are +285 to win.
