Spurs vs Trail Blazers NBA Preview
The Spurs have been surprisingly competitive without Victor Wembanyama.
This is more of a matchup advantage for San Antonio than it looks on the surface:
- The Blazers’ halfcourt defense is worse (19th) than the Spurs’ offense (11th)
- The Blazers’ halfcourt offense (23rd) is worse than the Spurs’ halfcourt defense (12th)
- The Blazers’ transition defense (22nd) is worse than the Spurs’ transition offense (4th)
- The Blazers’ transition offense (22nd) is worse than the Spurs’ transition defense (10th)
On in-season numbers only, with only homecourt adjustments, I make this spread a pick’em, lean Blazers, with two whole points of value.
With priors, I make this line Spurs -2.5.
Spurs vs Trail Blazers Prediction, Betting Analysis
The Blazers are 1-5-1 this season ATS when favored, and 10-16-1 (38%) ATS over the last two seasons when favored.
This is a Portland team that you want to back as 'dogs and fade when they’re supposed to win, because their floor is very low.
The Spurs have figured out how to play without Wembanyama, and De’Aaron Fox is probably the best player on the floor tonight. It’s either him or Deni Avdija.
So, I’ll take the more balanced, better coached, better positioned team.
Pick: Spurs +2 (-120)
