Damian Lillard scored 18 and added 5 rebounds and 7 assists with Nicolas Batum doing his best to get his team a win with 17 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists. The Trail Blazers were without LaMarcus Aldridge due to a right thumb strain, and is officially listed as probable for tonight’s game against the Spurs.

Statistically on the season, the Spurs and Trail Blazers match up very well. On offense, the Spurs are averaging 100.54 PPG with the Trail Blazers scoring an average of 101.95 PPG. Defensively it gets even closer, as San Antonio is allowing 97.25 PPG to Portland’s 97.20.

Although San Antonio is desperate for a win and salvage their marathon road trip, Portland also needs to get back on the winning track. With the Spurs scoring wows on the road this year, and Portland getting LaMarcus Aldridge back, the Trail Blazers will be too much for the Spurs at home.
