The betting odds have the Spurs as favorites, with a spread of -6.5 and a moneyline of -250, reflecting their 69% implied win probability.

Portland, on the other hand, has struggled on the road, losing five consecutive away games.

This recent upset might give the Trail Blazers some momentum, but they still have an implied win probability of only 31% in this contest.

The Spurs are coming off a win themselves, having outlasted the Atlanta Hawks 133-126 in their previous outing. San Antonio will look to build on this success as they aim to maintain their strong home performance.
