Warriors vs Spurs Prediction

The current betting odds have the Spurs listed as a 14.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Spurs have looked great in their games this season with their 10-2 record overall which has them right near the top of the West. They have looked good on their home court too with their 4-2 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Warriors have looked good in their games this season with their 8-4 record overall which has them in the top half of the West. They haven't been a great road team though with their 2-3 road record this year. A majority of their losses this season have come on the road and they are coming off one of those in their last one. They just lost against the Rockets and they managed to keep themselves in that game for a while, but they ran out of gas near the end and went on to lose by 8 points. The Warriors have been rolling lately as that loss ended an 8 game winning streak after starting the season 0-3, but they did lose Curry to an injury in that game and that is going to be trouble for them. They aren't the most talented team and now they are on the road again against one of the best teams in the NBA who was in the Finals last season. The Spurs also had a terrible start to the season going 0-2, but they have been rolling lately with 10 wins in a row now. They have a ton of momentum on their side and they have been getting into a groove lately with a lot of double digit wins. They had a tighter game on the road against the Bulls in their last one, but they are going to bring their best effort for this NBA Cup game at home and they have enough talent to take advantage of this Warriors team missing their best player. The best way to place a bet here is on the Spurs to cover the spread in this game.
