Spurs at Trail Blazers picks and predictionsPrediction
Spurs 113, Trail Blazers 107
The SPURS (+100) are worth playing at even money, even with Wembanyama on the shelf. San Antonio has won 3 of its past 4 games, and defensively, it has been stout with or without Wemby in the middle.
The Blazers have picked up 2 victories in their past 3 games, but those are their only wins in the past 7 outings. Since Nov. 8 in Miami, Portland has won just 3 of 10 games.
Spurs +1.5 (-110) makes little sense to play over the moneyline unless you are absolutely convinced Portland will win — but only by a single point.
PASS, and just look to the moneyline instead.
The UNDER 239.5 (-115) is the best play on the board.
The Under is 3-1 in Portland’s past 4 games and 4-1 in San Antonio’s past 5 outings. With the Spurs missing their big man — and the offense that comes with him — along with a lengthy injury list for the Blazers, it’s wise to go low on the total.
