The Golden State Warriors (38-13) visit AT&T Center Tuesday to take on the San Antonio Spurs (19-32). Tip-off is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Warriors vs. Spurs odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.
The Warriors are coming off a tough win in Houston Monday. While they ended up winning by 14 (122-108), it was PG Stephen Curry‘s fourth-quarter heroics, scoring 21 of his 40 game-high points, that allowed them to pull away late.
Curry, SG Klay Thompson and PF Draymond Green are among the Warriors expected to be sidelined Tuesday, the latter of which has been out for several weeks.
The Warriors are 5-4-1 against the spread (ATS) over their last 10 games and 28-20-3 ATS on the season. The Spurs are also over .500 ATS with a 27-24 ATS record. They’re just 10-16 straight up at home though.
San Antonio is led by PG Dejounte Murray, who is averaging 19.4 points and 9.1 assists per game. The Spurs have covered 2 straight and 3 of their last 4. They’re just 5-10 ATS as home underdogs.

Warriors at Spurs odds, lines, picks and predictions
Prediction
Spurs 118, Warriors 111
Money line
PASS.
The Spurs’ -205 price is just too expensive for a play.
Against the spread
BET SPURS -4.5 (-122).
San Antonio should take advantage of a depleted Golden State squad.
The Warriors have a plus-.500 ATS record at 28-20-3, but on no rest, they’re just 4-4 ATS. With a rest disadvantage, the Warriors are 7-10-1 ATS.
With key players sitting out for the Warriors, and a Spurs team that ranks No. 1 in bench points per game and top five in pace, the Spurs are the play here.
Also, the Spurs have the lowest turnover rate in the league. Given the Warriors rank 5th in points off turnovers per game, limiting that amount will drastically change the game.
The 5th-best rebounding team in the league, Golden State ranks 13th in offensive rebounding per game. That’s a weakness for San Antonio as it allows the third-most second-chance points.
Combine it all, and the Spurs seem like they’ll have an edge, especially at home with a rest advantage.
Over/Under
PASS with a slight lean to the Over 219.5 (-112).
The Spurs’ pace should dictate the way this game is played. If so, points, especially with Warriors SG Jordan Poole in the starting lineup and SG Damion Lee getting more run off the bench, should rain in.
