Trail Blazers vs Spurs Prediction
The Spurs are still missing Jeremy Sochan, Victor Wembenyama and De’Aaron Fox, while the Trail Blazers are still keeping eyes on Duop Reath, Tounami Camara and Anfernee Simons, who are all questionable. This is one of those games where you should check the lineups before tip-off, given the injury cloud hanging over the Trail Blazers. The Spurs have been decent in their last two games, and they are good enough to beat the Trail Blazers if they are missing a bunch of key players. Assuming that the Trail Blazers aren’t too banged up, I have them taking care of business in a close contest at home.
