Premium Pick

The San Antonio Spurs are up 3-1 in the series vs. Portland. And with Oklahoma City and the Los Angeles Clippers at 3-2, a win here could mean some much needed rest for this Spurs team. Teams that fail to close out a series that have three series wins are 57.5% to cover in their next game as a home favorite. The Spurs faced a letdown after winning the first three games with ease, all by double-digits, but should regain their focus at home tonight. The Spurs last four playoffs wins have come by 14 points or more. The Spurs have an amazing 39 wins this season by 10 or more points, including 23 at home. Teams leading 3-1 in a playoffs series that saw the first two at home, and the next two on the road, and now home again are 49-12 all time in the second round. They are also 15-3 if they won the first three and are coming home off a game four loss. Tonight will be another double-digit Spurs win to close out the series.
