Portland at San Antonio

The Portland Trailblazers have been eliminated from playoff contention, while the San Antonio Spurs are just 1/2 game from the bottom of the Western Conference standings. Detroit will be the team with the best chance of drawing the #1 spot in the June draft, and either San Antonio Spurs or the Houston Rockets will have the second best chance. Portland faded down the stretch as they have been 2-12 in their last 14 games. The Spurs have been much worse having played 7-33 in their last 40 games. Hard to take seriously a team that has been as brutal as the Spurs and posted as a favorite. It will be their first time listed as a favorite since January 6, and they have gotten worse, not better. I like Portland on the monelline.
