We’ve made some nice money on the San Antonio Spurs since the NBA bubble, but it feels like oddsmakers are starting to catch up and we’re now getting these cheaper lines. The Portland Trail Blazers are quietly playing some of the best ball in the league over the last week and their backcourt is taking things to another level. We’re not being asked to lay anything crazy here. I’ll take the Trail Blazers at home in this near pick em.
