I think TD, Manu & TP will all rest, if we have known Pop to do what he has done all over the years.
Cory, Danny, Kawhi, Diaw, Splitter will start, IMO.
Does Pop sit Manu or Timmy against the Guest Team? Does Parker return?
Do Boris, Danny or Baynes finally get a night off? (Though it seems Boris has already taken a few nights off lately. And I say that even though he's one of my favorite Spurs).
I think if Tony returns, Manu sits. Tim will play.

We should not rest all the Big Three in every b2b game ... we have 4 games in 5 nights, so I would rather sit Tim and Manu against Dallas but not tonight. Tony should not play though because he is not healthy ...
It's probably going to be one of those games where Portland blows their load after what happened last year. Sit the old guys down and throw the JV out there to see what happens.
There are two questions: did Pop hold TP out last might so he could play tomorrow, and does Tim go having played last night for 32 minutes? Manu only played 22 minutes last night.
My guess is that Tony and Manu play, Tim sits.
Local paper this morning reports that Tony re-injured his hamstring playing on friday, so he is out tonight against Portland.
So all the folks that believe that we are a better team and play better without Tony in the line-up should be thrilled.
Apparently not. Reports are that he aggravated the existing injury in the game before the Denver game...so he is out tonight and they don't know when he will be back.
Hopefully he'll rest Manu so that the team can decrease those gametime crucial turnovers.
Manu will likely rest. He took a hard fall yesterday and is surely sore from it. Tim probably sits. Not sure what the deal is with TP. Everyone else plays.
Kawhi with an MVP performance
The deal is that he reportedly (local paper) re-injured the same hamstring that was already hurt when he tried to play the other night. This is why Pop is always so cautious with injuries. Tony always tries to come back too soon, imo. Not only does it risk re-injury, but he also doesn't play as well. Of course, some folks in here accuse him of being soft if he doesn't play, and then accuse him of being a scrub if he comes back and plays ineffectively with an injury.
Hopefully our best PG cojo starts.
The French are sucking anyways.
Portland will look to extract revenge for this
I expect Pop to throw this one.
I read this to see if y'all think kawhi plays. I guess the hand injury is pretty far in the rear view?
it really seems every season at least one of the away games against Portland is a b2b ... no wonder Portland has the second best record against the Spurs all time ...
Duncan plays, Manu plays, Kawahi plays, Tony only plays if he's healthy, and that will be a clean up role to see if he's a-ok or a burger like the Laker game.
I'm afraid I see this as a loss looming.
Hope I'm wrong. If it is a blow-out (which wouldn't surprise me), I expect Pop to pull most everyone out.
Tony is not playing.
TD/Manu are not playing tbh
This may be the most incorrect prediction. Also, it's Kawhi.
Spurs are 8 point underdogs so obviously quite a few of their top guys are out
INJURY REPORT: Duncan, Ginobili, Mills, Parker and Splitter will not play in tonight's game at Portland.
