The Portland Trail Blazers, sitting at 42-40, are a world away from the San Antonio Spurs' 62-20 record, and it's hard to envision a scenario where they keep this one close, especially with Damian Lillard out with an Achilles injury. The Spurs are rolling at home, where they've gone 32-8, and their offense is nearly unstoppable, averaging 119.8 points per game. That could be a real problem for a Blazers team that's allowing 115.5 points per contest.
The Spurs are led by rookie phenom Victor Wembanyama, who's putting up 25.0 points, 11.5 rebounds, and more. His presence alone could be enough to justify the 10.5-point spread, especially considering Portland's subpar 18-23 record on the road. With Lillard out and Devonte Harper questionable for the Spurs, the Blazers will need to find a way to contain Wembanyama and company.
