Spurs vs Trail Blazers Prediction
The current betting odds have the Spurs listed as a 5.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Spurs have looked great in their games this season with their 62-20 record overall which had them right near the top of the West with one of the best records in the entire NBA. They have been a great road team too with their 29-12 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Trail Blazers have looked good in their games this season with their 42-40 record overall which had them right in the middle of the West. They have also looked a lot better on their home court with their 24-17 home record this season. This is game 4 of a 7-game series between the 2 seeded Spurs and the 7 seeded Trail Blazers in the West for the 1st round of the NBA playoffs. The Spurs have a 2-1 series lead after winning game 3 by a score of 120-108. The Spurs lost Wemby to a concussion in game 2 of this series and they went on to lose that one, giving the home advantage to the Trail Blazers, but they got it back in game 3 with a double digit win on the road. The Spurs were still missing Wemby in that one, but they still have a lot of talent without him and were able to step up in his absence. Now the Spurs have control of this series once again and they are only going to get stronger as they could be getting Wemby back for this one. Even if he misses this game again, the Spurs have shown that they still have the talent to crush teams without him and they have all of the momentum back on their side in this series. The Trail Blazers are still a really young team that was ahead of schedule this season, but they have had a lot of trouble in this series against one of the best defensive teams in the NBA and they don't have the talent to hang with the Spurs in this series. Look for the Spurs to come out with their best effort to win this game and give themselves a chance to end this series at home in the next one. The best way to place a bet here is on the Spurs to cover the spread in this game.
