NBA Bet of The Day – Thursday 6th Feb
San Antonio Spurs @Portland Trail Blazers
BEST BET: Portland -3.5 (@-105)
Reasoning:
Death, taxes, and Damian Lillard on fire in almost any game the Portland play these days…. are three certainties of life. Okay, Denver did a good job containing Lillard on Tuesday – but for the most part he has been pretty much unstoppable – In the previous 8 games before last Tuesday, Lillard scored at least 34 points (including more than 47 on four occasions!!!!)
Atop of this The Trail Blazers had won 4 in a row prior to their setback against the Nuggets. As for the Spurs, they are set for stop No. 3 on an eight-game grueling road trip while the annual San Antonio Rodeo takes over the AT&T Center. Mental and physical fatigue could set in sooner rather than later for a squad that is already 0-2 on the road.
Spurs are 1-3-1 Against the Spread (ATS) in its last five trips to Portland. The Trail Blazers are 4-1 ATS in their last five overall.
