The San Antonio Spurs will play host to the streaking Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday at Frost Bank Center.

The Spurs face an 8.5-point handicap in this game, even with their leading scorer and rebounder, Victor Wembanyama, listed as a game-time decision with a hyperextended knee.

Best Pick: Blazers +8.5 points (-110).

Current Form:

The Spurs registered their second straight win after trouncing the Indiana Pacers 123-113. San Antonio continued to play top-level basketball on both ends even without Wembanyama, who hyperextended a knee in the last game against the Knicks. De’Aaron Fox scored 24 points and Stephon Castle added 19 to spearhead the offense. Rookie guard Dylan Harper also scored 22 points off the bench to lead the second unit. San Antonio has solidified its grip on the No.2 spot in the West with a 25-9 record.

Meanwhile, the Blazers earned their third win in four games following a 122-109 blowout win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday. As expected, Deni Avdija led the charge with 34 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists. Shaedon Sharpe scored 23 points and Caleb Love came off the bench and contributed 22 points. The Blazers are now 15-20 in the season.

Our San Antonio Spurs vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction

Fearless Forecast: The Blazers will give the Wemby-less Spurs a run for their money in this matchup. The Spurs might be coming off a surgical win over the Pacers, but the Blazers are a much better team than Indiana this season. Led by Deni Avdija, Portland has posted signature wins over Denver, Los Angeles and Oklahoma City. I understand that the Spurs remain a deadly team without Wembanyama because of their exceptional pool of combo guards. Still, I cannot ignore the fact that the Blazers are a solid 18-16-1 against the spread this season. Moreover, San Antonio tends to drop their level of play when matched up against inferior squads, which sometimes leads to upset losses (example the loss to Utah Jazz last week 114-127).

Our betting prediction for the Portland Trail Blazers vs. the San Antonio Spurs: the Blazers +8.5 points
