POR vs SAS Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Portland Trail Blazers vs San Antonio Spurs

POR vs SAS Dream11: NBA charges towards the Playoffs and the Regular Season has been 90% done at this point. The teams that are in the Play-in tournament contention need to pick up the steam now if they are to avoid the halt to their campaign. The reason why these teams have to now make an extra push for the Play-in tournament is that most of these teams have not garnered lengthy winning streaks, falling into the losing streaks bracket more often than not. And in this game, the Portland Trail Blazers and the San Antonio Spurs will take on each other in a Western Conference battle.

The Trail Blazers have been struggling with too many injuries and the injury list just keeps expanding with each week. At this point, the team is fielding a third-string unit and the season has been done for the team already. Coach Chauncey Billups just can’t catch a break and has been challenged in so many ways that it has to be a turbulent affair.

On the other hand, although coach Greg Popovich has instilled some terrific habits in the San Antonio Spurs things have still been incredibly hard for this team in a tough Conference. They have struggled to get near the 50% win mark despite having a potent offensive side. So, how will they respond with the Play-in tournament nearing?

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

The Trail Blazers grabbed a 119:115 win against the Pistons after a strong 23 points performance Brandon highlighted the effort
The Trail Blazers injury list is like the whole roster itself at this point. The team is missing all their leading guards, their leading Center, and many other players. Wisely, Damian Lillard has been shut down for the rest of the season and I do think that is a viable move considering that not much is left to scrape for Portland at this point. First, the team shipped away Norman Powell then CJ McCollum, and the injury to Nurkic just derailed what was left of the season. Anfernee Simons who was lighting up the floor with his tremendous scoring also got sidelined while even all-around SG Josh Hart has been ruled out for this particular game. The Trail Blazers season has been a hard one for the fans for sure.

The Spurs come into this game after a thrilling 110:108 win versus the Warriors as Keldon Johnson nailed a game-winner.
Although the Spurs did win in the last game, they have squandered the opportunity to make hay and ensure that they seize the tenth position in the West. While DeJounte Murray has been an all-around threat, he has often lacked support from the other players. Jakob has been a great screen-setter and Keldon has given some decent offense, the team lacks quality defense. The offense can be hurt at times too as the team lacks any player other than DeJounte who can put up 20+ points consistently. More will be needed out of Devin Vassell so that the off-guard position can be bolstered while Lonnie Walker IV who gave some scoring punch off the bench has been sidelined for this game too.
