The Spurs bounced back from a loss to Kobe and the Lakers with a win on the road in Denver last night. They play tonight in Portland, and I like the defending champs getting a handful of points at the Blazers.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Depth - Playing on back to back nights is tough on teams that rely on a few starters that log heavy minutes. The Spurs have the luxury of spreading out the minutes with several important players off the bench. They had six players score in double figures in the win over the Nuggets last night.

2. Situational - This looks like a tough spot for Portland, as it's their first game back from a long road trip, and it's their third game in four nights after playing a back-to-back on Fri-Sat.

3. X-Factor - The Spurs are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings.

Selection: This is a play on the San Antonio Spurs (10*)
