Trail Blazers vs. Spurs same-game parlay picks

Same-game parlay odds: +408

Under 221.5

This pick likely has a lot to do with the Spurs, who ranked eighth in points allowed and finished 46-37 to the Under this season. San Antonio's defense is headlined by Wembanyama, who led the NBA in blocks this year. Additionally, the Blazers ranked just 16th in points scored per game, making this a matchup of an elite defense versus an average offense. The Under hits in roughly 53% of model simulations.

Spurs -10.5

The Spurs were one of the league's top teams this year and went 47-36 against the spread. They covered this line in both of their wins over the Blazers this year, and the Spurs had one of the wider point differentials in the league this season. The Spurs also went 22-17-1 ATS at home this year. San Antonio covers in 52% of simulations. 

Victor Wembanyama Under 28.5 Points

This is a pretty high line for the San Antonio star, who averaged 25.0 points per game this year. Wemby missed a good chunk of time this year, appearing in 64 games, and did not play in any of San Antonio's three matchups with the Trail Blazers. The model tabs Wembanyama for 27.0 points, noting he's gone Under this line in five of his last eight games when the Spurs are favored and playing against a team that both has a winning record and middle-third defense.
