What to Know

The San Antonio Spurs have enjoyed the comforts of home their last four games, but now they must head out on the road. They will take on the Portland Trail Blazers at 10 p.m. ET on Thursday at Moda Center at the Rose Quarter after having had a few days off. These two teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

San Antonio had enough points to win and then some against the Washington Wizards on Monday, taking their contest 116-99. The Spurs got their win on the backs of several key players, and it was point guard Dejounte Murray out in front almost dropping a triple-double on 22 points, ten boards, and eight dimes.

Meanwhile, Portland strolled past the Detroit Pistons with points to spare on Tuesday, taking the game 110-92. Among those leading the charge for Rip City was shooting guard CJ McCollum, who had 28 points and six assists.

San Antonio is expected to lose this next one by 4.5. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 6-3 against the spread when expected to lose.

San Antonio suffered a grim 124-102 defeat to Portland when the two teams previously met in May. Can the Spurs avenge their loss, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We’ll soon find out.
