💰 Spurs vs. Trail Blazers best bet

See all of our experts' NBA picks for today's slate.

The San Antonio Spurs are in a strong position to beat the Portland Trail Blazers tonight, even with the game being in Portland. Most importantly, Victor Wembanyama did participate in shootaround this morning, signaling he’s close to returning and giving San Antonio a massive boost on both ends. His defensive presence alone can completely alter Portland’s offense.

Even if Wembanyama is limited, the Spurs have already shown they can compete without him, going 12–6 in games he missed this season . San Antonio also dominated the regular-season matchup and plays at a faster pace that Portland struggles to handle.
