  • The Spurs square off with the Trail Blazers in NBA first round playoff action Sunday, April 26th
  • Victor Wembanyama’s concussion protocol diagnosis looms large over this crucial clash
  • Read below to see the Spurs vs Trail Blazers player props and picks

The Portland Trail Blazers host the San Antonio Spurs for a pivotal Game 4 in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. Tip-off is set for 12:30 PM PT / 3:30 PM ET on Sunday at the Moda Center, with national television coverage provided by ESPN in the United States and TSN in Canada.

Throughout this series, Scoot Henderson and Deni Avdija have thrived under intense postseason pressure for the NBA odds hometown underdogs. I expect them to get up and down the track against a dangerous Spurs squad spearheaded by Stephon Castle and De’Aaron Fox. Below, I’ll break down the odds and props for this matchup with the Spurs fighting to take a 3-1 series strangehold.

Spurs vs Trail Blazers Player-Prop Picks

Scoot Henderson Over 14.5 Points (-115) at BetMGM

Scoot Henderson has been nothing short of spectacular in this first-round matchup, yet his points prop continues to hover at a surprisingly low 14.5. I am jumping all over this marker. He has racked up 70 total points through three games, averaging a staggering 23.3 per night.

He is ruthlessly exploiting the Spurs’ tendency to funnel action to the perimeter, converting 52.2% of his three-point attempts in the series. Because I know the defense will concede outside shots to protect the paint, Henderson is guaranteed to see immense volume.

In 9 of his last 13 affairs, Henderson has put up at least 15 points, giving me confidence that he’ll be able to blow over his listed total in this matchup.

Stephon Castle Over 17.5 Points (-117) at DraftKings

With Victor Wembanyama dealing with his concussion, Stephon Castle forcefully grabbed the reins of the offense. The dynamic guard leads the team with 68 total points in the series (22.7 per game). Despite his massive offensive burden and 35.0 minutes per game, I can still grab his scoring prop at a modest 17.5.

He is relentlessly attacking the basket and manufacturing points at the charity stripe, hitting 83.3% of his 24 free throws. He is also shooting a clean 40.0% from beyond the arc on 5.0 attempts per game against a vulnerable defense.

Going up against a defense allowing 111.7 points per 100 possessions, I expect another high-volume performance.

SA vs POR Key Injuries

The Spurs’ rotation is headlined by Victor Wembanyama, who remains day-to-day in concussion protocol after missing Game 3. Backcourt depth piece Jordan McLaughlin (ankle) is also day-to-day, while David Jones Garcia remains out for the season.

Wembanyama’s murky availability is the defining variable for this slate. Even with his absence last time out, oddsmakers boldly hung massive prop lines for him. If the towering center is ruled out before tip-off, it will trigger a massive shift.

For the Trail Blazers, Damian Lillard remains out for the season with an Achilles injury. This baked-in reality is why I am seeing heavily juiced scoring and playmaking lines for Jrue Holiday and Scoot Henderson as they shoulder the offensive burden.
