Best Bet for San Antonio Spurs vs Portland Trail Blazers

Best Bet: Spurs -8.5 (-110)
Book: Best price at FanDuel

Our best bet for San Antonio Spurs vs Portland Trail Blazers is Spurs -8.5 (-110) against the spread.

The San Antonio Spurs average 120.0 points per game, sixth highest in the league, while allowing their rivals to score 114.1 points per game. They maintain the sixth-best defensive rating in the league at 112.6. This signifies that the Spurs are an all-round team with efficient offense as well as defense. In addition, their 12-4 record suggests that they are ruling their homecourt. On the other hand, the Trail Blazers score 116.3 points per game, while allowing rivals to score 119.9 (25th in the league). This signifies that they need to put in effort on both ends of the court to move up the standings. Making things challenging for them is their lengthy injury report, hurting their depth.

The spread at 8.5 feels short for the Spurs, who are 8-2 in the last ten games. On the flip note, the Trail Blazers tend to struggle ATS against better teams.

Given the absence of players for the guests, defensive and offensive edge of the Spurs as well as homecourt advantage, we are laying 8.5 points and expect the Spurs to cover the number.

Same-Game Parlay Picks for San Antonio Spurs vs Portland Trail Blazers

3-Leg SGP (Safer)

Leg 1: De’Aaron Fox Over 24.5 Points
Leg 2: Stephon Castle Over 20.5 Points
Leg 3: Victor Wembanyama Over 9.5 rebounds

Combined odds: +759

We’re building this same-game parlay around the San Antonio Spurs dominating at home. De’Aaron Fox averages 21.8 points per game and is one of the main scorers for the hosts. Castle contributes 17.9 points on an average, while Wembanyama is likely to rule the board if he plays.

These legs co-relate. If the Spurs dominate their guests right from the beginning, Fox and Castle play freely and Wembanyama takes control of rebounding for his team. This is our safer SGP option.
