Portland Trail Blazers vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction
The Spurs should be massive favorites, but they’re also a young team that has to prove itself in the playoffs. Wembanyama isn’t exactly 100 percent. The Trail Blazers are also one of the hottest teams in the league with wins in 20 of their last 32 games and they’re 45-38 ATS on the season. Everybody keeps writing off the Trail Blazers and they just keep winning games. The Trail Blazers also have two outright wins this season as a double-digit underdog. This line feels a little too thick for my liking. Give me the points with the Trail Blazers.
