The San Antonio Spurs are getting the job done at home, but a road trip-filled January pits them in Oregon tonight as they open a three-game trek against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Sportsbook opened the Spurs as 2-point road underdogs with a total of 199.
- The OVER is 10-4 in the last 14 meetings between the Trail Blazers and Spurs in Portland.
- The UNDER is 12-3 in the Spurs' last 15 road games.
- The Spurs are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games.
San Antonio began a stretch of nine of 11 on the road by dropping two of three last week and is playing in the Sportsbook game of a back-to-back set with a matchup in Sacramento looming on Monday. Without LaMarcus Aldridge in the fold against the Phoenix Suns on Friday, Manu Ginobili stepped up while becoming the second NBA player of 40 years or older to score at least 20 or more points off the bench in the Spurs’ 103-89 triumph.
The Blazers have had their own struggles on the road but locked down on defense at home in a 110-89 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Friday. Star point guard Damian Lillard is starting to look like himself again after sitting out five straight games due to a hamstring injury and is 8-of-15 from 3-point range in his two games back.
OVER bettors are profiting when the Spurs and Trail Blazers collide, as the OVER is 9-3 in the last 12 meetings between the squads.
