It is a huge bonus obviously for San Antonio if MVP candidate Victor Wembanyama plays today. But even if he doesn't because of a concussion, the Spurs can cover a number against the Trail Blazers. They proved that with a 120-108 road win in Game 3 of this playoff series two days ago. That was a crushing home loss for the Trail Blazers as they blew a 15-point second-half lead. That was the first OVER of the series after the first two games had gone UNDER. The Spurs have held Portland to an average of only 104 points during the series. San Antonio ranked eighth defensively during the regular season and fourth in defensive field goal percentage. Portland was 29th in field goal percentage and 28th in 3-point shooting percentage during the regular season. The Spurs used their superior backcourt depth of Dylan Harper, Stephon Castle, De’Aaron Fox and Keldon Johnson to win Game 3 by 12 points. San Antonio has the confidence, guard play and defense to do it again. Take the Spurs and the UNDER.
