The Portland Trail Blazers will try and recover from a bad opening game loss to the Lakers as they host the San Antonio Spurs on Friday. Not only did the Blazers get blown out at Los Angeles, they lost Greg Oden to yet another injury. It will not be easy for the Blazers on Friday considering the Spurs are also coming off a loss. SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Spurs on the Road.
The Spurs have owned the Blazers in this series lately. They have won the last 12 times against Portland. San Antonio has won 19 of the last 20 games overall with Portland's only win during that span coming at home in 2005.
Last year the Blazers were led by Martell Webster who averaged a team-best 19 points per game against the Spurs. Tony Parker averaged 18 points, 4 rebounds and 5.7 assists vs. Portland last season. Tim Duncan added 17.7 points and 8.7 rebounds in three games. San Antonio head coach Gregg Popovich is 31-13 in his career against Portland. One problem for the Spurs in this game could be the absence of guard Manu Ginobili. The Spurs still have Tim Duncan and Tony Parker but missing Ginobili could be a big problem in this matchup against the Blazers.
