Game Preview San Antonio Spurs @ Portland Trail Blazers
The San Antonio Spurs visit the Portland Trail Blazers at Moda Center for a Western Conference battle on Wednesday night. Tip-off is set for 10:00 PM ET in a matchup that pits two teams aiming to climb the standings early in the NBA season.
San Antonio sits at 11-5, 5th in the Western Conference, and enters this game off a recent loss to the Phoenix Suns. They’ll be without Victor Wembanyama, sidelined with a left calf strain, but remain dangerous behind De’Aaron Fox, Devin Vassell, and an efficient offensive unit.
Portland is 8-10, currently 9th in the West, and riding the momentum of a 115-103 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. Under interim head coach Tiago Splitter, the Blazers are showing renewed energy, led by Jerami Grant’s scoring and strong support from Donovan Clingan and Deni Avdija.
This conference matchup could influence NBA playoff positioning, especially as both squads fight to stay above water in the tightly contested West.

San Antonio Spurs Outlook
Even without Victor Wembanyama, the Spurs are staying competitive. In their recent loss to Phoenix, De’Aaron Fox led with 26 points, while Vassell and Champagnie stepped up with key contributions on both ends.
San Antonio is 4th in field goal percentage (49.4%) and 2nd in two-point shooting (59.2%). Their offensive execution has been among the best in the league. On the defensive end, they allow just 112.2 points per game—ranking 4th league-wide.
The Spurs have also picked up quality wins against Atlanta and Memphis in recent games, proving they can compete even when short-handed. Their ability to create quality looks and limit opponent scoring keeps them in most matchups.

Portland Trail Blazers Outlook
The Trail Blazers are looking to turn a corner after a slow start. They are coming off a 12-point win over Milwaukee, where Jerami Grant poured in 35 points. The supporting cast also delivered—Donovan Clingan recorded a double-double, and Deni Avdija added 22 points with strong playmaking.
Portland’s offense ranks 11th in scoring at 119.3 points per game. They also rank 8th in rebounds per game (45.6), and second in field goal attempts—an indicator of their up-tempo attack. While their defense remains a concern, the offense can win games outright.
At home, Portland is just 3-4, but they’ve shown signs of improvement under Splitter’s interim leadership. If their core players continue performing at this level, they’ll remain competitive in most games.
