Portland Trail Blazers vs. San Antonio Spurs Prediction: Injury Report, Starting 5s, Betting Odds & Spreads - November 15 | 2022-23 NBA Season
The San Antonio Spurs take on the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday, November 15th, at the Moda Center in NBA Regular Season action. Portland is currently the best in the West, sitting at the top of the standings. They face San Antonio, who are loitering near the bottom of the standings with a 6-8 record. The betting odds and predictions are given below:
The visitors have been a treat to watch this season. They have come out of periods with success even when they have had several top players out injured. They are currently 9-4, at the top of the Western Conference standings. They come into this game on the back of a 112-117 loss against the Timberwolves, which ended their three-game win streak. With Luka Doncic playing at his prime level, no team can stop him. It was the same for the Blazers as well. It was a brilliant performance by all three of their superstars, but Luka’s 42-point triple-double was too much to contain. Their trio of Grant, Simons, and Lillard combined for 90 of the 112 points that the Blazers scored in the last game, with Grant top-scoring with 37.
Jerami Grant has been the unsung hero for the Blazers this campaign amidst the plaudits their backcourt duo has been receiving. Grant has been terrific this month, averaging 26 points a game in November. He has scored 20 or more in all but five games this season and is coming off an incredible 37-piece. He has been particularly efficient from beyond the arc this season, scoring at a career-high 46%. He is averaging 21-5-3 on 63% true shooting. One of the main reasons for the Blazers’ success this campaign and how they were able to cope with injuries to Dame and Simons has been the performances of Grant.
The Spurs have been struggling lately; they have only won one of their last seven games. They are coming off a 132-95 drubbing against the Golden State Warriors, featuring a Jordan Poole masterclass.

The Blazers are firm favorites in this one. They are currently the best team in the West going up against the struggling Spurs, who have quite a few key players missing due to injuries.
