Portland Trail Blazers at San Antonio Spurs

Following a historic 41-point explosion in the Play-In victory over Phoenix on April 14, we are backing Deni Avdija to maintain his elite scoring volume as Portland’s primary focal point in Damian Lillard's season-long absence. With a team-leading 24.2 PPG and a 29.1% usage rate, Avdija possesses the necessary offensive gravity to challenge a San Antonio defense that welcomes back Victor Wembanyama but faces a Blazers squad with significant momentum from their first postseason berth since 2021.
