PASS.
Taking the Trail Blazers (+135) to win outright given the motivations behind this game is enticing. However, considering the spread and how well Portland has covered, that’s the preferred route.
BET TRAIL BLAZERS +3.5 (-118).
The Trail Blazers have been on a roll and have covered in 3 of their last 4 when closing as an underdog. Portland has won 8 of its last 11 contests, as well, so it has been playing at a high level.
The Spurs, likely short arguably their two best players in Castle and Wembanyama and basically locked into that second seed, don’t have much to play for. They have scored more than 118 points in just one of their last 3 games and are 1-3 ATS in their last 4 games when favored.
BET UNDER 229.5 (-110).
Assuming the players who are doubtful miss this one, there will be a lack of firepower, especially for San Antonio.
The Spurs are just 2-5 O/U in their last 7 contests as well. Portland has allowed 106 points or fewer in 6 of its last 7 and has gone Under in 4 of those.
