On Tuesday, the Portland Trail Blazers play the first of a short two-game road trip when they visit the Spurs at the AT&T Center. It is the second meeting of the season between the squads. On November 20th, Manu Ginobili scored 18 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter as San Antonio beat Portland, 107-98, at the Rose Garden. Portland has lost six straight and nine of its last 10 at San Antonio. The Spurs have won six in a row in the series.

Robert Horry added 18 points off the bench in the win over Memphis for the Spurs, who snapped a three-game skid. Michael Finley ended with 12 points while Tim Duncan and Bruce Bowen both scored 10 in the victory.

On the injury front for San Antonio, Parker (strained right hip) is questionable for Tuesday’s contest. He missed his first game of the season against Memphis.

The Spurs are 12-6 at home this season. They will visit Allen Iverson and the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday at the Pepsi Center. San Antonio has lost two of its last three at Denver.
