Portland Trail Blazers
Damian Lillard has proved time, after time, after Dame Time that he can heat up like few others on this entire planet.
Right now, he’s in the midst of one of those hot streaks.
Lillard is coming off a 38-point showing in which he matched his career high of 11 made three-pointers. He did it, by the way, in just three quarters.
Lillard’s last three games have seen him score 38, 36 and 40 points.
I wouldn’t want to be the next team in line to try and stop this man possessed.

Portland lists Gary Payton II and Nassir Little as OUT.
San Antonio Spurs
The San Antonio Spurs refuse to tank.
At least, the players on the court refuse. I have a feeling the front office would love nothing more than the losses to pile up in favor of ping-pong balls come Draft Lottery time.
Alas, the Spurs have followed up an 11-game losing streak with three wins in a row.
This group is looking for its fourth straight victory straight up, which would be a team on the year.

Free Portland Trail Blazers vs. San Antonio Spurs NBA Prediction:
The Trail Blazers kick off a brand new six-game road trip on Wednesday. But with all the momentum they have coming off a pair of home wins against the Timberwolves (not to mention a trio of fantastic games from Lillard), I wouldn’t expect the mood to change for Rip City.
Blazers get in and out of San Antonio without any trouble.
