Warriors at Spurs picks and predictions
Prediction
Warriors 115, Spurs 113
Moneyline
PASS.
While both teams are playable here, the better value is on the home side’s spread, which is highlighted below. Avoid a moneyline play here.
Against the spread
BET SPURS +2.5 (-110).
The Warriors are on the second night of a back-to-back after a draining game Friday night in New Orleans. Golden Sate failed to cover as a 10.5-point favorite against a depleted Pelicans side.
San Antonio didn’t compete Friday and will have a rest advantage. A younger side than Golden State, it is 4-0 ATS this season when it has a rest advantage. The Spurs are also a solid 6-4 ATS at home and are playing at a high level, having beaten the Jazz and Thunder in 2 straight home games.
Considering those trends, take SPURS +2.5 (-110).
Over/Under
BET OVER 227.5 (-110).
The Warriors have one of the best offenses in the NBA behind Curry, and they sit 6th in the NBA in offensive rating. They also have been playing a fast tempo, ranking 5th in pace. The Warriors are 9-6 O/U on the season.
San Antonio put up 126 points on the Jazz Thursday and has scored at least 115 in 4 of its last 6 games. It has allowed at least 118 in 3 of those, as well, and is 3-2 O/U in its last 5.
That said, back OVER 227.5 (-110).
