Stephen Nover's NBA Spread Crusher
(NBA) San Antonio vs. Portland,
Point Spread: -7.00 | -107.00 San Antonio (Away)
Result: Win
Not only are the Spurs far superior to the Trail Blazers, but the schedule lays out for them. The Spurs last played on Monday and won't play again until Saturday when they host lowly Philadelphia.

So the Spurs should be holding nothing back. In fact, this is a special game for them because it marks LaMarcus Aldridge's return to Portland. The Spurs will want to do all they can to make Aldridge look good against his former team.

The Spurs have the frontcourt advantages and depth to beat the Trail Blazers by double digits.

San Antonio has covered six of its last eight road games. The Trail Blazers are 2-9-1 ATS in their last 12 games versus opponents with a winning record.
