The Trail Blazers will be without Damian Lillard.

Trail Blazers vs Spurs Prediction

The Trail Blazers had their chances to make this series interesting, as they had a 15-point lead late in the third quarter. Without Wemby, the Spurs came back and won by double digits. Completely flipped the game on its head. It’s a series killer and could destroy the confidence of these young Trail Blazers who are ahead of schedule.

Also, I expect Wembanyama to play in this game, as he was a game-time decision for game 3. An extra 36 hours or so should be enough to get him cleared. The Spurs have to see the blood in the water and view this as a chance to put a strangle hold on this series. I’d need more points to really give the Trail Blazers any attention. Give me the Spurs and the reasonable chalk.
