The current betting odds have the Trail Blazers listed as a 1.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Spurs have looked great in their games this season with their 62-20 record overall which had them right near the top of the West with one of the best records in the entire NBA. They have been a great road team too with their 29-12 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Trail Blazers have looked good in their games this season with their 42-40 record overall which had them right in the middle of the West. They have also looked a lot better on their home court with their 24-17 home record this season. This is game 3 of a 7-game series between the 2 seeded Spurs and the 7 seeded Trail Blazers in the West for the 1st round of the NBA playoffs. This series is all evened up 1-1 after the Trail Blazers won game 2 by a score of 106-103. The Trail Blazers got crushed in game 1 of this series and couldn't even put up 100 points, but their defense looked a lot better in game 2 as they were able to complete their mission and take a road game from the first 2. Now they are going back home with some momentum on their side and they have looked a lot better there all year. They have been rolling lately too as they needed to win games to even make the playoffs and now they are 7-3 in their last 10 games. The Spurs have been crushing opponents all season and being on the road hasn't really made much of a difference for them, but playing without Wemby has and now they could be without him in this one. Wemby went down early in game 2 and that was a big reason why the Trail Blazers were able to hang around all game and take game 2 at the end. They will be able to do the same in this one too as the Spurs have looked like a different team without him. Look for the Trail Blazers to take advantage of the Spurs in this game without their best player on the floor. The best way to place a bet here is on the Trail Blazers to cover the spread in this game.

“(Henderson) has been shooting the ball really well. Got to be more physical with him. No catch-and-shoots, no easy off-the-dribble pullups. I think he made ... I don’t know how many he made today. We’re going to make it a lot harder for him because he’s feeling way too comfortable.” - Devin Vassell after their loss against the Trail Blazers in the 2nd game of this series on Tuesday. 

“As a team, as a unit, I think that was our goal — to be aggressive. Hit everybody that comes through the paint, box out and play fast. I think that was all of our success and that kind of opened the floor for all of us.” - Scoot Henderson after their win against the Spurs in game 2 of this series on Tuesday.
