The team is just 2-4 since hitting the road back on Feb. 8, and it enters its contest with Portland having lost three straight.<\/p>\n Unfortunately for San Antonio, things aren’t getting any easier. The Blazers have added backcourt depth with a trade-deadline acquisition of Arron Afflalo, and they’re getting LaMarcus Aldridge back after the All-Star missed one game with a thumb injury on Sunday.<\/p>\n For the Spurs to get back on track, they’ll need to execute on both sides of the ball. That sounds like a gimme, but the Blazers are a top-10 team on both ends of the floor.<\/p>\n Look for the Spurs to control the pace early, dictating the way the game is played late.<\/p>\n In his first game with the Blazers, Arron Afflalo hardly stood out. That’s for two reasons.<\/p>\n First and foremost, it was his debut with a brand new team half way through the season. Nobody should be expected to perform at their best in that situation, and Afflalo admitted so much when he said, “Obviously, I was a little passive.”<\/p>\n Secondly, you have to consider the competition. His first game with a new organization was against the NBA’s toughest defense: the Memphis Grizzlies.<\/p>\n Look for Afflalo to be more comfortable with the offense in his second outing.<\/p>\n Recent betting trends really don’t point one way or the other on this one. Both teams are struggling, and both could use a win to push for positioning with the playoffs nearing.<\/p>\n All that said, the Blazers have home-court advantage — not to mention a more comfortable Afflalo with Aldridge returning to the court.<\/p>\n If Portland were projected to win by much more than three, I’d be hesitant to pick them ATS. However, that’s not the case, as a three-point spread is what we’re working with at this juncture.<\/p>\n Pick Portland ATS<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NBA Betting?
