Trail Blazers vs Spurs could be an excellent matchup on Thursday but the visitors have the strong balance to secure an outright win on the road.
The Portland Trail Blazers make a trip to Frost Bank Center to face the San Antonio Spurs in a crucial NBA clash on Thursday. The hosts would look for a win after consecutive road defeats against the Los Angeles Clippers and Houston Rockets. The Spurs will need to fix their issues if they want to update their position in the Western Conference.
On the other hand, the Trail Blazers are riding on the same boat but they enter the fixture with a 100-118 win over the Pelicans. They are off to a slow start after five defeats in the first eight games. However, they ended their two-game losing streak on Tuesday and the win also came on the road.
Spread: Spurs -4.5
Total: 218
Moneyline: Blazers +150, Spurs -180
Spurs take the home advantage considering their previous run at Frost Bank Center as they won two out of three games this season. However, the Blazers are equally strong and have won each of their last four games against the Spurs. Anfernee Simons guided the Blazers to a crucial win with 24 points on 10 of 17 shooting. Deandre Ayton chipped in with 13 rebounds against the Pelicans.
Consistency might be a concern for Spurs but they have Victor Wembenyama and Juliuan Champagne to find home glory. Trail Blazers vs Spurs could be an excellent matchup on Thursday but the visitors have the strong balance to secure an outright win on the road.
