Spurs vs. Trail Blazers Prediction

The Spurs are currently averaging 112.8 points per game. Small forward Keldon Johnson has been leading the offensive charge, scoring 36 and 23 points in their past two games, respectively. The defensive end of the court is where the Spurs have really struggled, surrendering a scary average of 121.4 points per game.

The Trail Blazers, meanwhile, are averaging the same number of points scored per game as the Spurs. They also bested the San Antonio outfit 128-112 last month. Much like the Spurs, the Trail Blazers have frequently floundered on defense, though not quite as badly. They're surrendering an average of 112.6 points per game.

Overall, with the home-court advantage, slightly less shakey defense, and top players such as Damian Lillard on hand, the Trail Blazers should be able to best the Spurs again tonight.

Prediction: Trail Blazers -9 (-110)
