What to Know
The Spurs are coming off a three-game homestand and will now have to transition to playing on the road. They are set to face the Portland Trail Blazers at 10:00 p.m. ET on Friday at Moda Center at the Rose Quarter after a few days of rest. The Trail Blazers are looking to bounce back from their last loss and turn the tables on the Spurs, who are coming off a win.
The Spurs secured a much-needed victory by defeating the Pelicans 121-116 in their last game. This win put an end to their three-game losing streak and was fueled by a strong performance from Victor Wembanyama, who recorded a double-double with 25 points and ten rebounds. Wembanyama’s presence on the court has been crucial for the Spurs, as they have a winning record when he grabs at least eight rebounds.
San Antonio dominated the offensive boards in their last game, grabbing 16 offensive rebounds. This has been a consistent strength for the team, as they have pulled down at least 12 offensive rebounds in their past four games.
On the other hand, the Trail Blazers suffered their fourth consecutive loss in their previous game against the Lakers, falling 107-98.
With this win, San Antonio improved their record to 12-12, while Portland dropped to 8-16 after the defeat.
The Spurs are considered the favorites in this matchup, with experts predicting a 3.5-point win for them. However, they have not performed well against the spread in their last four games, so betting on them might be risky.
In their previous meeting in November, the Spurs defeated the Trail Blazers 118-105. The upcoming rematch will be played on Portland’s home court, which could make a difference in the outcome.
