San Antonio has lost four of six with a 1-5 ATS mark, and the Spurs didn't cover in a 121-116 win over New Orleans on Sunday. Victor Wembanyama has been in and out of the lineup with back issues. Portland hopes to get healthier with Robert Williams III and Donovan Clinga, who will likely return for this game. The Trail Blazers have been backsliding defensively, as they allowed 141 points against Utah before losing 107-98 to the Lakers on Saturday. The Spurs have lost six of nine road games this season and 16 of their past 20 December games. Take the points with the Trail Blazers.

Premium Picks
Portland at San Antonio
Both Portland and San Antonio are on a complete rebuild, and the Trailblazers head to San Antonio with a 13-31 overall record. Portland has won just two of their last 14 games on the road, and are coming off an overtime win in Houston. San Antonio is just 8-36 on the season, but Portland is just 1-4 SU on the road vs a team that has a winning percentage of .333 or less, and have failed to cover their last three against these poor teams. I think when your looking at a pair of teams with massive rebuilds, the home court looms large, and I will go with San Antonio.

San Antonio at Portland
It's a rematch of a San Antonio victory at Portland last night. While the NBA is buzzing about the hapless Pistons, the Spurs have been on a brutal run of their own at 2-23 SU, 9-16 ATS. This is their third game in four nights and the Spurs are 20-36 ATS as a road underdog. San Antonio is 25th in the NBA in scoring, 27th in shooting, 26th from long range, while the defense is 27th in points given up, 24th in shooting allowed (48.8%), and 29th at defending the 3-pointer (38.9%). The Spurs are 4-13 ATS when playing the second of a back-to-back. Portland is 10th in the NBA from the free-throw line (79.6%) while the defense is No. 1 at defending beyond the arc. The Blazers play their third consecutive home game on a 9-7 spread run. They began this homestand with a 130-113 rout of Sacramento as a +8 dog. With San Antonio 15-31 ATS versus losing teams, don't expect lightning to strike twice and back home court. Play Portland.
