Spurs at Trail Blazers picks and predictions
Prediction
Trail Blazers 118, Spurs 109
Moneyline
With the Trail Blazers (-340) being heavily favored to win, PASS on wagering on the moneyline. The return you would receive if Portland were to win would be minimal, so it’s not worth the risk.
Against the spread
TRAIL BLAZERS -8.5 (-103) appears to be the ideal bet in this game as they are the superior team. There’s a chance the Spurs elect to rest a few players on a back-to-back, so the spread could expand even more.
The Trail Blazers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall and they are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a loss.
Over/Under
Even if the Spurs decided to sit a couple of players, OVER 226.5 (-108) is an enticing wager. San Antonio owns the 3rd-worst defensive rating in the NBA, so plenty of points should be scored by Portland while we’ll just need the Spurs to likely clear a little over 100 points to hit the Over.
The Over is 15-7 in the last 22 meetings between the Spurs and the Trail Blazers in Portland.
