Through 3 Quarters

Down eight at the end of last quarter, the San Antonio Spurs have now snagged the lead. Three quarters in and their offense has really been able to impose its will, dominating the Portland Trail Blazers 82-72 three quarters in.

The top scorer for San Antonio has been small forward Keldon Johnson (23 points). Portland has been relying on small forward Greg Brown, who has 14 points, and shooting guard Ben McLemore, who has 16 points. Brown is close to surpassing his season high of 15.

the Trail Blazers have lost 88% of the time when they were down heading into the fourth quarter this season, so this one seems just about wrapped up

What to Know

The San Antonio Spurs will stay at home another game and welcome the Portland Trail Blazers at 7 p.m. ET April 3 at AT&T Center. San Antonio should still be feeling good after a win, while the Trail Blazers will be looking to get back in the win column.

Rip City is out to make up for these teams' contest this past Friday. The Spurs took down Rip City 130-111. San Antonio got their victory on the backs of several key players, and it was small forward Keldon Johnson out in front shooting 5-for-8 from downtown and finishing with 21 points, six assists and five rebounds.

San Antonio is the favorite in this one, with an expected 14.5-point margin of victory. They are currently two-for-two against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

Portland's defeat took them down to 27-50 while San Antonio's win pulled them up to 32-45. Allowing an average of 115.09 points per game, Portland hasn't exactly asserted themselves on the defensive end. We'll see if they can patch up the holes in their defense before their upcoming game.
