Summer League: San Antonio Spurs vs. Portland Trail Blazers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s San Antonio Spurs vs. Portland Trail Blazers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Antonio Spurs and Portland Trail Blazers meet Saturday in the 2024 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. Tip-off from Thomas & Mack Center is set for 9 p.m. ET (ESPN2/ESPN+). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Spurs vs. Trail Blazers odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Spurs entered the 2024 NBA Draft with the No. 4 and No. 8 overall picks. They selected G Stephon Castle, who should be active Saturday, at No. 4 and G Rob Dillingham at No. 8, immediately trading him to the Minnesota Timberwolves. San Antonio was one of just a handful of teams in the California Classic. It left with a 1-2 record, having lost 97-65 to the Charlotte Hornets and 85-59 to the Sacramento Kings 1 before picking up an 89-67 win over Team China.

The Trail Blazers did not compete in the California Classic or the Salt Lake City Summer League, so this will be their 1st action. The Trail Blazers dealt with a plethora of injuries last season and ended with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. They took UConn C Donovan Clingan, who was among the most dominant big men in college hoops. G Kennedy Chandler is another name to keep an eye on for Portland.

Spurs at Trail Blazers picks and predictions

Prediction

Trail Blazers 85, Spurs 77

Moneyline

PASS.

The moneyline isn’t necessarily bad value, but the better and more playable odds here are on the spread. Look there for the best option in this battle.

Against the spread

BET TRAIL BLAZERS -2.5 (-110).

The Trail Blazers should get easier buckets with Clingan, the 7-foot-2 center, in the paint. On top of that, the Spurs, who have 3 games under their belt, lost by 32 and 26 to the 2 other NBA teams they took on. Simply put, the Spurs don’t have a ton of playmakers on the roster having shot under 30% from the field in both games against NBA teams in the California Classic.

Given Portland is bringing 5 players that are 6-foot-8 or taller, it should get more put-back opportunities and have a solid advantage defensively as well. San Antonio doesn’t have a player over 6-foot-9, making a serious disadvantage for anyone guarding Clingan.

Given those challenges for the Spurs, take TRAIL BLAZERS -2.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 167.5 (-111).

The Spurs issues, despite not having Castle, were too much to overlook. Offensively, they scored just 65 and 59 in those 2 games in the California Classic. They would’ve gone more than 10 points under this total in all 3 games, even in their win over Team China.

For Portland, it will be its 1st time taking the court together, and that usually doesn’t produce overly efficient offense. It only has 1 player with more than 1 year of experience in the NBA, as well, so it’s a relatively youthful roster.

With that in mind, expect offensive shortcomings, and back UNDER 167.5 (-111).

Spurs at Trail Blazers picks and predictions

Prediction

Trail Blazers 124, Spurs 118

Moneyline

PASS.

The Blazers (-340), on the second night of a back-to-back after a tough loss, aren’t worth a wager. Similarly, the Spurs (+310) have no value given their road record.

Against the spread

LEAN SPURS +7.5 (-102).

The Blazers showed in blowing a lead on Sunday that they cannot be trusted. They have failed to cover their last 3 games and are 3-7 ATS over their last 10. Portland is also 11-13 ATS after a loss.

The Spurs have covered 2 outings in a row and are 4-1 ATS over their last 5 games as an underdog of 7.5 or more points. San Antonio should be able to keep this one close as it has done consistently in the last few weeks. Back the SPURS +7.5 (-102).

Over/Under

BET OVER 241.5 (-105).

The Spurs play awful defense and play at a high-tempo pace. They rank 8th in the NBA in pace and sit last in opponents’ field goal percentage and opponents’ 3-point field goal percentage.

The Blazers rank 23rd in the NBA in pace but are led in scoring by two guards and should be willing to keep up. San Antonio has gone Over in 5 of its last 6 and has allowed 130 or more points in 4 of its last 5. While 19-26-1 O/U on the season, Portland has gone Over in 3 of its last 6.

Ultimately, back the OVER 241.5 (-105).

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.

San Antonio Spurs at Portland Trail Blazers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s San Antonio Spurs at Portland Trail Blazers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The San Antonio Spurs (28-44) take on the Portland Trail Blazers (27-44), who open a five-game homestand, as both battle to get into the playoff picture. Tip-off is Wednesday night at 10 p.m. ET at Moda Center. Below, we look at the Spurs vs. Trail Blazers odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Spurs are coming off a 110-108 win over the Golden State Warriors Sunday. They are 4-4 in their last eight games and trail the New Orleans Pelicans by two games for 10th place in the Western Conference, and the final spot for the play-in games to determine the final two seeds of the playoffs.

The Trail Blazers are only a half-game behind the Spurs in the Western Conference. They have only two wins in their last 12 games but won their last game, a 119-115 road victory over the Detroit Pistons.

Spurs at Trail Blazers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Trail Blazers 120, Spurs 115

Money line

The Blazers have only two wins in their last 12 games but have been respectable at home this season at 17-18. Meanwhile, the Spurs are only 14-21 on the road this season.

The Spurs did beat the Blazers, 114-83, in Portland Dec. 2.

The Blazers have won three of their last five home games.

This is a huge opportunity to jump on a big underdog for a big payout. You have a heavy favorite that struggles on the road and a bad team that plays fairly well at home. This game is worth betting the underdog.

Take the TRAIL BLAZERS (+380).

PLAY: Free, daily sports pick’em contests. Play now!

Against the spread

The Spurs have not won a game by more than eight points since Feb. 12. They are 19-15-1 ATS on the road this season, and they are 3-3-1 ATS as road favorites.

The Blazers have either won or lost by a lot. Only two of their last 10 losses have been by fewer than 20 points. They are 16-18-1 ATS at home.

I like the money line bet better than the spread because of the payout, but if you aren’t as comfortable with an outright Blazers win, give yourself points to play with and take TRAIL BLAZERS +9.5 (-120).

Over/Under

The Blazers are either on with their offense or putrid. They have failed to score 100 in seven of their last 12 games but averaged 120.6 points in their other five.

Since the All-Star break, the Spurs have allowed opponents to score 122.5 points per game. Only twice in the last 13 games have they allowed fewer than 110.

Take OVER 231.5 (-110).

San Antonio Spurs at Portland Trail Blazers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s San Antonio Spurs at Portland Trail Blazers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The San Antonio Spurs (6-13) travel to Moda Center Thursday to take on the Portland Trail Blazers (11-11). Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Spurs vs. Trail Blazers odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Trail Blazers are about to hit a rough stretch of games and they’ll be without superstar G Damian Lillard. Lillard is dealing with an abdominal injury and is expected to miss at least 10 days.

The Blazers are still favorites at home despite his injury. They’ve been playing .500 ball but have a rough 9-13 record against the spread (ATS).

San Antonio has been far better sitting at 10-9 ATS. The Spurs are led by star G Dejounte Murray. He hasn’t done enough to keep his team afloat as they’ve drastically disappointed so far this season.

Spurs at Trail Blazers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Spurs 108, Trail Blazers 105

Money line

“LEAN” to the SPURS (+160).

I prefer to take the points as the sportsbooks are giving a decently wide margin here. Banking on a competitive game as the Spurs have arguably the best player on the court seems like the smart move.

Against the spread

BET on the SPURS +4.5 (-105) as the best bet in this game.

The Blazers are 6-9 without Lillard in the lineup over the last two and a half seasons. It’s a good sell-high spot for them coming off a double-digit win over the Pistons, who are one of the worst offensive teams in the NBA.

They’ll have to actually keep pace with the Spurs, a team averaging 107.2 points per game.

The Blazers are awful defensively and allow the highest opponents effective shooting percentage, a stat that accounts for threes being worth more than twos.

The Spurs are a top-five team in turnover rate and they won’t give away easy opportunities. At nearly full strength, I fully expect them to come out and cover this spread, especially riding hot on a two-game win streak.

Over/Under

“LEAN” to the UNDER 215.5 (-107) as the better play. It’s tough to have a good gauge on the Blazers without Lillard. Given his absence, I’d rather take fewer points than more. There’s not much more to it than that.

If the Blazers want to stay in this game without their star, they’ll have to defend. With F Robert Covington, they should have a chance to slow the Spurs down.

I’d lean to the Under but heavily prefer hammering the spread.

San Antonio Spurs at Portland Trail Blazers odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Monday’s San Antonio Spurs at Portland Trail Blazers NBA betting odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The San Antonio Spurs (7-6) are in the Rose City Martin Luther King Jr. Day for a 3 p.m. ET tip-off against the Portland Trail Blazers (8-5) at the Moda Center. Below, we analyze the Spurs-Trail Blazers NBA betting odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

San Antonio just split a two-game set at home with the Houston Rockets, losing the first 109-105 Thursday and winning the second 103-91 Saturday. The Spurs shot poorly in both games but won the second contest because they did two things well they generally don’t: Rebound and force turnovers. The Spurs were even in rebound differential (last in opponent’s rebounds per game) and forced 23 Rockets turnovers Saturday.

Portland’s defense kicked in during the second half of a 112-106 win over the Atlanta Hawks Saturday. The Trail Blazers erased a seven-point halftime deficit in part by holding the Hawks to 40 second-half points. SG C.J. McCollum sat out the second half with a sprained foot and is out Monday. While McCollum was out, PG Damian Lillard increased his aggressiveness, shooting eight of his 12 free throws in the second half.

The Trail Blazers covered all three meetings with the Spurs last season (2-1 outright). However, McCollum averaged 26 points on 47% shooting (47.8% from 3) with a 119 offensive rating in those three games vs. San Antonio.

Spurs at Trail Blazers: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Spurs 112, Trail Blazers 108

Money line (ML)

These teams are neck and neck in net rating (Portland is 13th and San Antonio 14th), but these rankings factor in McCollum and C Jusuf Nurkic, neither will be playing on MLK Day.

The Spurs historically have done a pretty good job defending Lillard: Dame Time has scored 30-plus points in just seven out of his 25 career games vs. the Spurs. San Antonio PG Dejounte Murray has the best defensive rating on the starting lineup and most defensive win shares on the team.

Plus, you have the added revenge motivation for Spurs PF LaMarcus Aldridge, who was a four-time All-Star during his nine-year stint in Portland. I’m rolling with the SPURS (-120) for 1.25 units.

Against the spread (ATS)

PASS ON THE SPREAD.

Over/Under (O/U)

If the total is in the 220s, I lean UNDER 224.5 (-110) for a quarter-unit. These teams have a combined 10-16 O/U record and San Antonio has the ninth-best defensive rating. It’s only a lean though because the Over has cashed in eight of the previous nine Spurs-Trail Blazers games.
