Learn to spell his name. Learn to pronounce his name. Learn to enjoy the absurdities that come when Victor Wembanyama<\/a> is on the court. They will likely define the next few weeks of the NBA playoffs, to the San Antonio Spurs<\/a>\u2019 great delight and the Portland Trail Blazers<\/a>\u2019 great misery.<\/p>\n

This same-game parlay for my Trail Blazers vs. Spurs predictions<\/a> leans into Wembanyama in Game 2 on Tuesday, April 21.<\/p>\n

Our best Trail Blazers vs Spurs SGP for Game 2<\/p>\n

Victor Wembanyama<\/a> may not go 5-for-6 from beyond the arc again, but even by missing a few 3-pointers, he would likely increase his own playing time. Yes, the San Antonio Spurs<\/a>\u00a0superstar scored 35 points in fewer than 33 minutes in Game 1. His own dominance lessened the need for more action.<\/p>\n

Wembanyama has scored at least 34 points in five of his last six games, clearing 40 in three of those. He has been in a dominant form for a bit now, something that should worry not only the\u00a0Portland Trail Blazers<\/a>\u00a0but also everyone in the NBA.<\/p>\n

The Trail Blazers’ concern stems largely from an inability to defend Wembanyama. Second-year center Donovan Clingan<\/a> is actually an imposing defensive presence, but he has neither the quickness nor the agility to keep up with Wembanyama away from the rim.<\/p>\n

Portland needs to trim Clingan\u2019s minutes and try a different approach. That approach will still be unlikely to work, but some adjustment is a must.<\/p>\n
