San Antonio Spurs forward Victor Wembanyama (1) during the first half.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The San Antonio Spurs aren\u2019t looking to drag this first-round series out. As admirable as the Portland Trail Blazers\u2019 season has been\u2014especially given the turmoil surrounding their head coach\u2019s arrest just before opening night\u2014it\u2019s likely to end quietly without much resistance in this matchup.<\/p>\n<p>My Trail Blazers vs. Spurs predictions and these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.covers.com\/picks\/nba\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NBA picks<\/a> welcome our new overlord, Victor Wembanyama, as he continues his dominance in Game 2 on Tuesday, April 21.<\/p>\n<p>Trail Blazers vs Spurs prediction<br \/>\nWho will win Trail Blazers vs Spurs Game 2?<\/p>\n<p>Spurs: Victor Wembanyama has officially arrived. Not to overreact to an easy Game 1 win, but this version of the San Antonio Spurs should be feared by everyone in the NBA.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Trail Blazers had a delightfully surprising season, but it would be an act of mercy by the NBA to shorten this series to best-of-five, if not best-of-three.<\/p>\n<p>Trail Blazers vs Spurs best bet: Victor Wembanyama Over 28.5 points (-105)<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">What of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.covers.com\/sport\/basketball\/nba\/players\/275658\/victor-wembanyama\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Victor Wembanyama<\/a>\u2019s resounding playoff debut might not be repeatable? The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.covers.com\/sport\/basketball\/nba\/teams\/main\/san-antonio-spurs\/odds\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">San Antonio Spurs<\/a>\u2019 superstar scored 35 points in a dominant win, playing fewer than 33 minutes.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He did shoot 5-for-6 from deep; perhaps he will shoot just 2-for-6 from beyond the arc in Game 2. Those nine points would be costly in pursuit of this points prop. But then again, Wembanyama did not need to stress in that Game 1 win. Missing a few more 3-pointers would create a more competitive game, leading to more Wembanyama minutes.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">That would provide enough of a cushion to think Wembanyama should clear this prop in either game state.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Focus on his last few weeks. The Frenchman scored at least 34 points in four of his final five regular-season games. He has been locked in for a bit.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">And as Sunday night made clear, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.covers.com\/sport\/basketball\/nba\/teams\/main\/portland-trail-blazers\/odds\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Portland Trail Blazers<\/a> do not have a defender to slow down Wembanyama. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.covers.com\/sport\/basketball\/nba\/players\/303602\/donovan-clingan\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Donovan Clingan<\/a> may be a massive human being, but he is simply not quick or agile enough to defend Wembanyama outside the paint.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=covers.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"googleLink border-0 bg-lighter rounded-2 py-2 px-3 d-flex gap-2 justify-content-between align-items-center mb-5\" data-linkcont=\"Article-Google-Preferences-Click\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Enjoying Covers content?

It should last more than a decade. His size and defensive instincts are assets that contenders will value.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But he is no match for Wembanyama right now. Portland realized that in Game 1, and Clingan played just 21 minutes. Logic would have expected him to be more in the 28-30 range, but with Wembanyama ruling, the Trail Blazers needed to alter their rotation.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Clingan\u2019s minutes may stay limited this whole series, leading to some continued value in the Unders on his player props.<\/p>\n<p>Trail Blazers vs Spurs SGP<\/p>\n<p>Victor Wembanyama Over 28.5 points<br \/>\nDonovan Clingan Under 9.5 points<br \/>\nDonovan Clingan Under 9.5 rebounds<\/p>\n<p>Our &#8220;from downtown&#8221; SGP: Wemby, Whatever Way<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This is not doubt in Wembanyama. I&#8217;m merely suggesting that Portland will try a different coverage, because Sunday\u2019s clearly did not work. Forcing Wembanyama off the arc will do only so much to his overall scoring.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The one thing the Trail Blazers should carry over from Game 1 is slowing down the pace. Fewer possessions give San Antonio fewer chances to enjoy its talent advantages, led by Wembanyama, obviously.<\/p>\n<p>Trail Blazers vs Spurs SGP<\/p>\n<p>Victor Wembanyama Over 28.5 points<br \/>\nVictor Wembanyama Under 2.5 made threes<br \/>\nUnder 220.5<\/p>\n<p>Trail Blazers vs Spurs odds for Game 2<\/p>\n<p>Spread: Trail Blazers +11.5 (-115) | Spurs -11.5 (-105)<br \/>\nMoneyline: Trail Blazers +475 | Spurs -650\u00a0<br \/>\nOver\/Under: Over 220.5 (-110) | Under 220.5 (-110)<\/p>\n<p>Trail Blazers vs Spurs betting trend to know<\/p>\n<p>As every game became a must-win for Portland, the Trail Blazers became a reliable Under team.
