Spurs vs Trail Blazers Pickswise Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick
SA Spurs -2.5(-110)

After sustaining a hard fall in the 2nd quarter of Game 2, Victor Wembanyama is now in the concussion protocol and is likely to miss Friday’s Game 3 in Portland. That is undoubtedly a big blow for San Antonio, as they’ll have to come up with a completely different game plan without their best player. In 18 games without Wemby this year, the Spurs are 12-6 SU, but there was a noticeable drop-off in their defensive efficiency without him. The oddsmakers are well aware of that, too. Despite the first 2 games seeing just 209 points each, the projected total for Friday’s game is sitting at a relatively high 220.5 points.

Portland did exactly what they were supposed to do, getting the split in San Antonio, and now we have ourselves a series. They finally got a big game out of Scoot Henderson, who went off for 31 points, plus Jrue Holiday once again proved his value as the veteran leader of the team with 16 and 9 assists. You just know the crowd at Moda Center will be ecstatic as their team plays there for the first time this postseason, and the Trail Blazers have been very reliable in home games — winning 7 of the last 8.

Losing the best player to an injury can often rally the troops and bring the best out of a team. San Antonio actually led by as many as 14 points with 8 minutes remaining in the 4th before their collapse. Now, they’ve had 2 full days to come up with a gameplan for Game 3 that won’t involve their big man; I think that’s quite enough for a team that went 62-20 SU this season. I’ll back San Antonio even if they’re shorthanded.

Spurs vs Trail Blazers Game 4 predictions: San Antonio Spurs -2 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable to that number.
