Golden State Warriors vs. San Antonio Spurs Predictions

After finishing ninth in the West with a record of 39-33 SU last year, Golden State bounced back with a triumphant start to this season, as the Warriors opened with an impressive 18-3 SU and 15-5-1 ATS run – with 14 of those victories coming by 10+ PTS.

However, Golden State is far less dominant without the combined presence of Steph Curry and Draymond Green, considering the Warriors enter Saturday riding a relatively pedestrian 33-25 SU and 25-30-3 ATS stretch – with 19 of those SU losses coming in the absence of Curry or Green.

On the other hand, San Antonio stumbled out to a surprisingly poor start to the season, as the Spurs kicked things off with a lackluster 24-40 SU and 32-31-1 ATS skid – while surrendering roughly 113 DPPG to their opponents across that window.

The Spurs have played excellent down the stretch though, considering San Antonio boasts records of 10-6 SU and ATS across their last 16 games – while scoring 115.6 OPPG and allowing 113.1 DPPG during that timeframe.

I’ll take the under here, as the Spurs are 7-2 SU and 8-1 ATS in their last nine games, while scoring 118.2 OPPG and surrendering 107.3 DPPG during that span – setting the stage for a relatively low-scoring battle against a Warriors’ squad that’s averaging 106.8 OPPG across their 4-7 SU skid since Curry’s latest injury.

Golden State Warriors Betting Analysis

  • SU: 51-29
  • ATS: 40-36-4
  • O/U: 34-44-2

After last year’s lackluster 39-33 SU showing, the Warriors returned seeking imminent revenge to start the new season, as Golden State kicked things off with SU victories in 18 of their first 20 games – with their only two losses across that window coming by slim margins of four points or less.

However, Golden State’s success has primarily come through defense since mid-December, considering the Warriors enter Saturday riding a relatively pedestrian 33-25 SU stretch, while scoring just 111.5 OPPG and allowing 107.7 DPPG during that span. The Warriors’ mantra has slightly altered since the return of Klay Thompson though, highlighted by Golden State averaging 114.8 OPPG across their last 31 games.

San Antonio Spurs Betting Analysis

  • SU: 34-46
  • ATS: 42-37-1
  • O/U: 38-40-2

After finishing tenth in the West with a record of 33-39 SU last year, San Antonio stumbled out to a surprisingly poor start to the season, as the Spurs opened with a lackluster 24-40 SU and 32-31-1 ATS skid – while surrendering 113 DPPG to their opponents across that window.

However, San Antonio has played excellent since the opening days of March, considering San Antonio boasts records of 10-6 SU and ATS across their last 16 games – while tallying 115.6 OPPG and surrendering 113.1 DPPG during that timeframe.

Golden State Warriors vs. San Antonio Spurs Betting Conclusion

After extending their win streak to three games with a home victory over the Lakers on Thursday night (W, 128-112), the Warriors hit the road for Saturday’s contest as short favorites over the Spurs at AT&T Center – marking the fourth time San Antonio has been an underdog in their last six games.

I’ll take the under here, as the Warriors are 4-7 SU and 5-6 ATS since Curry’s latest injury while scoring just 106.8 OPPG and allowing 109.2 DPPG during that span – setting the stage for a relatively low-scoring battle against a Spurs squad that’s surrendering 107.3 DPPG across their latest 7-2 SU run.
