Portland Trail Blazers Betting Preview
The Portland Trail Blazers have been in pretty good shape as they’ve won eight of their last 11 games overall, but they will be hoping to bounce back in this one after having their three-game win streak halted by the Nuggets in a 137-132 overtime road defeat on Monday. Tounami Camara led the team with 30 points on 10 of 16 shooting; Deni Avdija added 26 points and seven assists; Jrue Holiday tallied 19 points with 11 assists, while Donovan Clingan chipped in with 18 points, 12 rebounds and two blocks. As a team, the Trail Blazers shot 47 percent from the field and 25 of 52 from the 3-point line as they poured in 72 points in the first half to open up an 18-point lead, but they allowed the Nuggets back into the contest and it cost them in the overtime period, where the Trail Blazers scored just seven points to fall well short in the end.
San Antonio Spurs Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs have been on fire as they’ve won 28 of their last 31 games overall and they will be eager to stay hot after blowing past the 76ers in a 115-102 win on Monday. Stephon Castle led the team with a triple-double of 19 points with 10 rebounds and 13 assists; Victor Wembanyama added 17 points in just 16 minutes before he left the game, while Dylan Harper chipped in with 17 points off the bench. As a team, the Spurs shot 49 percent from the field and 11 of 32 from the 3-point line as they got off to a quick start thanks to Wembenyama and took the early lead, but they couldn’t shake the pesky 76ers until the fourth quarter, where the Spurs restricted the 76ers to just 17 points to pull away and win comfortably despite the injury to Wembenyama.

Spurs vs Trail Blazers Prediction
The Trail Blazers have ruled out Vit Krejci, Jerami Grant and Shaedon Sharpe again, while the Spurs have listed Stephon Castle and Victor Wembanyama as doubtful for this one. The Trail Blazers were always going to be underdogs against the red-hot Spurs, but they have been on a great run themselves and probably should’ve beaten the Nuggets in their last outing. The injuries to Castle and Wembenyama really even out this matchup quite a bit, but I am sticking with the consistent Spurs to continue their terrific run with another win and cover at this short line.
