this is a tough one. both point guards out. the spread favors san antonio, but a young team vs an aging team always bring up questions. ginobili is back to his style of play, but the fowards can prove a little much for duncan and company.

@ Portland, and 2-0 record against the spurs. im leaning Portland+2 and Under. Make it 3-0.

I may be mistaken.. but I dont think Duncan sits out any back to backs?

i was told the same battles.

I'm am on portland already.

let's do this!

Injuries and rest are not considered into the equation bro. . .

He doesn't need rest right now. They need to beat a Western Conference team now, they have tomorrow off and then they play the clippers. So basically he has a few days off after this game.

Can somebody show me ONE piece of evidence or anything where it says Duncan might sit out? Your crazy, he's playing guys.

Who says he is not playing??? I am saying it does not matter. . .

That makes it even worse then... You think having Timmy D in the line up compared to having him out won't matter when it comes to the outcome of the game?

I hope your joking?

To answer your first question, yes. Portland wins by 3 instead of 18. To answer the second, no. . .

If your so sure why not take the moneyline then?

Both teams played on the rd last night and made a late night trip. No Roy I believe. I've heard Tony Parker is back. Coach Pop does occasionaly sit Duncan on b2bs, I can't believe no one knows this. He's been doin it for yrs. I made a play already earlier this yr where Timmy sat out. I have the luxury of waiting long enough to make my play that I should know all these factors before I make my play. I like the spurs if Duncan and Parker are in the lineup....I will lay off if anything if not playing. I'm not playing Portland with no Roy against a healthy Spurs lineup
