The San Antonio Spurs<\/a> look to take a commanding lead on Sunday as they take on the Portland Trail Blazers<\/a> in Game 4 of their Western Conference series in the 2026 NBA Playoffs. The Spurs were without Victor Wembanyama<\/a> on Friday, as he was out with a concussion and is questionable for Sunday, but they managed a 120-108 victory without him to take a 2-1 series lead. The Spurs, the second seed in the West, are optimistic that the Defensive Player of the Year will suit up.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Spurs vs. Trail Blazers same-game parlay picksBlazers +5.5Stephon Castle Over 6.5 AssistsDeni Avdija Over 13.5 Rebounds + Assists<\/p>\n

Same-game parlay odds: +512<\/p>\n

Blazers +5.5<\/p>\n

Portland has lost by 13 and 12 points and won by three in the first three games, but the SportsLine model sees this being a tighter game. The Spurs could be without Wembanyama, or he could be a little rusty, so the model has the Blazers covering in 57% of simulations. That earns the pick an ‘A’ grade from the model. The Blazers are 46-38 against the spread this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Stephon Castle Over 6.5 Assists<\/p>\n

Castle is the catalyst for the Spurs, and he averages 7.4 assists. He has only gone Over this number once in the series, getting five assists in the other two games, but he topped this number seven times in his final eight regular-season outings. He hit double digits in three of those. The model projects Castle for 7.2 assists, making this a 3.5-star play.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Deni Avdija Over 13.5 Rebounds + Assists<\/p>\n

The Blazers star averages 6.9 rebounds and 6.7 assists and has hit 15 combined rebounds and assists in two of the three games in this series. He also had seven rebounds and 12 helpers in the Play-In victory against the Suns<\/a>. The 2020 first-round pick of the Wizards has elevated his game for the postseason, and the model projects him for 14.1 Rebounds + Assists.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The San Antonio Spurs look to take a commanding lead on Sunday as they take on the Portland…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3784],"tags":[7,212,601,980,89527,6,8889,24770,56366,9199,4708,12757,472,687,471,3967,474,88985,88982,88984,89525,89524,930,89526,1617,693],"class_list":["post-718692","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-portland-trail-blazers","tag-basketball","tag-betting","tag-blazers","tag-deni-avdija","tag-deni-avdija-props","tag-nba","tag-nba-injury-report","tag-nba-odds","tag-nba-parlay","tag-nba-picks","tag-nba-predictions","tag-nba-sgp","tag-phoenix-suns","tag-portland","tag-portland-trail-blazers","tag-portlandtrailblazers","tag-san-antonio-spurs","tag-spurs-blazers-betting","tag-spurs-blazers-odds","tag-spurs-blazers-parlay","tag-spurs-blazers-props","tag-spurs-blazers-sgp","tag-stephon-castle","tag-stephon-castle-props","tag-trail-blazers","tag-victor-wembanyama"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116471892802184395","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/718692","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=718692"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/718692\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=718692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=718692"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=718692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
