Our San Antonio Spurs vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction
Fearless Forecast: The Blazers push the Spurs to the limit in a 115-113 loss.
Sharp Play (The Blazers +11.0 points): Portland will give the Spurs a testy challenge in Game 1. Interim head coach Tiago Splitter, a Greg Popovich disciple, will have his Blazers prepared mentally and physically ahead of this daunting series with the Spurs. The Blazers, who won 5 of their last 7 games, are coming in with momentum, along with the personnel to put up a decent fight against the No.2 team in the West.
The difference-maker in this game and the series will be none other than Victor Wembanyama, who will be playing the Blazers for the first time this season after missing all three games against Portland in the regular season. Regardless, I have Portland giving the mighty Spurs a hefty dose of scare in the opening game of their series.
Our betting prediction for the Portland Trail Blazers vs. the San Antonio Spurs: the Blazers +11.0 points
