The Portland Trailblazers are starring down the barrel of an impossible situation as the San Antonio Spurs have opened a commanding 3-0 lead in their best of seven series. Tonight is gut check time for the Blazers at home after three punishing double-digit losses at the hands of the Spurs. The public has already weighed in with over 60% grabbing the Spurs, and an even greater amount, 65%, grabbing the OVER. The Spurs have rang up 114 points or more in each of the first three games, so that looks easy...right? Let's not lose sight of the fact that the Spurs have not exactly been invincible on the road, where they are 2-2 so far this season in the playoffs and just 5-7 ATS in their last 12 playoff games as a road chalk. One other note is the Spurs, as a road favorite in the playoffs, are 22-11-1 to the UNDER, including 15-5-1 to the UNDER in their last 21 in this spot. Portland has to dig in on the defensive end, or it is over and out for them. The Spurs are just 1-6 ATS in their last seven after allowing 100+, and Portland has done a great job against them here as they are 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings in Portland. San Antonio is 12-5 to the UNDER facing a team that scored 100+ in their last game, and 8-3 to the UNDER following a double-digit win. Make the play on Portland and the UNDER.
