Portland Trail Blazers vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction, Odds and Picks for Thursday, 11/07/24

The San Antonio Spurs’ offense is yet to take off this season. They have been able to surpass the 110-point mark just once so far through 8 games. Now they face a Portland Trail Blazers team that has struggled scoring the ball when playing on the road, too. Portland has averaged just 104.8 points per game in 4 such contests. The sides are currently 19th and 24th in pace this season, which should help make this a low-scoring game — especially considering they also rank 25th and 27th in offensive rating. With the Spurs also 10th in defensive rating, do not expect many points tonight.

Both of these teams also struggle to score from beyond the arc, ranking in the bottom 10 of the league in 3-point percentage. Considering the Trail Blazers allow the fewest paint points in the NBA and the Spurs rank 6th in that category, themselves, that inefficiency should keep the scoring low. The Spurs will be on the second night of a back-to-back, which should ensure they do not push them tempo. With the Trail Blazers 23rd in fast-break points per game, it’s not something the visitors tend to do, either. I’m backing the under as a result.
