Trail Blazers at Spurs picks and predictionsPrediction
Spurs 116, Trail Blazers 109
PASS.
There is minimal value on the Spurs (-295), who face a beaten and bruised Trail Blazers squad.
LEAN TRAIL BLAZERS +7.5 (-115).
Despite the Blazers dealing with a plethora of injuries, they have won 3 of their last 4 and scored at least 122 in 2 of their last 3. They will face a tough battle against the Spurs, but San Antonio is still trying to figure out how to cover for the absence of Wemby, who averages close to 23 points and 11 rebounds. With a large spread, the Blazers still have an opportunity to cover.
BET UNDER 236.5 (-115).
The Blazers have hit the Under in 6 of their last 8 games, including 3 of their last 4, and have scored 114 or fewer points in 6 of their last 8 games. Additionally, they have allowed 110 or fewer in 5 of their last 8.
The Spurs have scored 114 or fewer in 2 of their last 4 while allowing 113 or fewer in 7 of their last 9. They have hit the Under in 3 of their last 5.
