Trail Blazers vs. Spurs Prediction and Odds (Spurs To Stay Hot Against Horrific Trail Blazers)
By Joe Summers
We've got a rematch of a 130-111 San Antonio victory from two days ago as the 32-45 Spurs host the 27-50 Portland Trail Blazers tonight at 7:00 PM EST.
Dejounte Murray is questionable to play, but he missed Friday's game too. Even without him, eight different Spurs scored in double figures as the Trail Blazers' defense was no match for San Antonio's ball movement.
The Spurs have now won and covered the spread in five of their last six while Portland has lost six straight and failed to cover the spread in all but one of those losses.
Can San Antonio make it two resounding victories in a row, or will the Trail Blazers stick around this time?
Here are the odds from WynnBET as we look for value in this Trail Blazers vs Spurs matchup:

Trail Blazers vs Spurs Prediction and Pick
The Spurs are quietly on a roll. In their last six games, they rank third in the NBA in net rating and their only loss was by one point to the Grizzlies, who are one of the best teams in the league. They've got a top-six offense and defense in that span and now face a Trail Blazers team that ranks dead last in net rating during that span.
In the last two weeks, these teams have played twice. San Antonio won those games by a combined 56 points. Yeesh.
Just one game ahead of the Lakers for the final spot in the Play-In Tournament, the Spurs know they need to take advantage of games like these. We should see a locked-in San Antonio group that's suddenly looking dangerous heading to the playoffs.
If BetSided put out a lineup of Iain MacMillan, Donavan Smoot, Peter Dewey, Reed Wallach, and Matt de Saro with myself as a Manu Ginobli-like dominant sixth man and Ben Heisler as our Gregg Popovich, we may actually be favored against Portland. That's how bad the Trail Blazers are.
Give me the Spurs to get a third straight commanding win over Portland and inch one step closer to the postseason.
Pick: Spurs -14.5 (-110)
