The Portland Trail Blazers will be taking on the San Antonio Spurs on Friday, April 1st.
The tip-off is set for 8:30 ET from AT&T Center.
The Spurs started off as a 13.5 point favorite and that number is now up to 14.5. The total has stayed right around 231.
Portland Trail Blazers
You do not have to know a lot about the NBA to know that it has not been a great season for the Trail Blazers. They have a lot of work to do if they wish to even get back to being a representable team.
This is a team that has lost five games in a row and it does not appear as if things are going to be getting any better for them in the future.
When he is back from injury and healthy next year, you have to wonder what the motivation for Damian Lillard to stay in Portland is.
The star point guard can say all he wants about how he wants to win in Portland and do it with this team, but at some point, he has to realize that winning the title will not happen with this group unless this franchise goes out there and gets some key pieces to move the needle, which I find to be doubtful.
Portland lost to the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday by a score of 117-107. Things will not get any easier when they hit the road to face this Spurs team.
In their last loss, things were close for a bit, but the better team just proved to be too much for them to handle. Right now, they have some young talent on this roster with capability, but they do not have that one guy they can totally rely upon on the offensive side of the ball.
San Antonio Spurs
Overall, it has not been a great season for the Spurs, but it does appear as if they are playing a bit better, which they hope can keep up during these final stretch of regular-season games.
At the moment, this team has a record of 31-45, which puts them in 11th place in the Western Conference.
They only trail the Lakers by 0.5 games for the 10th seed and based on how Los Angeles has been playing, it seems like a very real possibility that they could overtake them.
San Antonio dropped to the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday by a score of 112-111. I get the opponent they lost to is a very good team, but it would have been nice to see them knock them off because they were short-handed.
Even though Memphis did not score a crazy amount of points last time out, I felt the defense for this team could have played a lot better. Even without Ja Morant on the court, it seemed as if the Grizzlies were often getting very easy looks, which just simply cannot happen.

Portland Trail Blazers vs. San Antonio Spurs NBA Analysis:
The Spurs will look to keep up their strong play in this one when they host this Blazers team.
For a team like San Antonio, where each and every game is so important, this is one which they must take advantage of.
Portland does not exactly have a ton of motivation in this game, so there is no guarantee you will get a great effort out of them on Friday.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Spurs ATS
These teams met just a little bit ago in Portland and let’s just say that things did not go so great for the Blazers and I have no reason to believe why the same will not be true here.
There is no question that this is a lot of points to lay with a Spurs team that is not the most reliable, but I just do not see this contest being close at all when all is said and done.
