The Trail Blazers, unlike San Antonio, haven't made it to the Western Conference play-in this season. Right now, Chauncey Billups' team is sitting at 8-16, which puts them ahead of Utah and New Orleans but 4.5 wins behind the top 10.

Portland has failed their last four games before the meeting with the Spurs. The Trail Blazers have lost two games at home to Dallas and Utah, and they've also lost two away matches to the Clippers and Lakers.

The Spurs made it clear in the last game that they're a play-in contender, not an outsider in the West. San Antonio beat New Orleans 121-116 at home, ending a three-game losing streak. The Spurs lost to Phoenix on the road (93-104), as well as Chicago (124-139) and Sacramento (113-140) at home.

Overall, the Spurs have won half of their matches , with a 12-12 record. The Texans are just 0.5 wins away from the West play-in zone, so if they beat Portland, they'll break into the top 10.

San Antonio has been more consistent than Portland this season, and they're aiming higher in the tournament. On top of that, the Spurs have won four of their last five games against the Trail Blazers, which is another reason to bet on a victory for the Texans. We're going with a win for the visitors and the total over. San Antonio started the season as one of the best defences, but then lost some ground. On top of that, San Antonio has also been winning the rebounding battle in four of the last six H2H meetings.
