The current betting odds have the Warriors listed as a 15.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Warriors haven't been great this season with their 40-37 record overall, especially since they are the defending NBA Champions, but they have been a really good home team all year and are going to start getting on a roll here as they still need to secure a playoff spot. They are 31-8 in their home games this season and they are getting a nice matchup here as they are playing one of the worst teams in the NBA. The Spurs are only 19-57 overall this season making them one of the worst teams in the West and the entire NBA, and they have been even worse in their road games with a 6-31 road record. They have no momentum on their side either with 5 losses in a row now while the Warriors are coming off of a nice win at home by double digits and will be looking to continue that with another home win here. The Warriors will be really focused on this game as they need to get hot now with the playoffs right around the corner and they have crushed this Spurs team in the past too. The best way to place a bet here is on the Warriors to cover the spread in this game.

“It’s pretty much been like that all year, so we’re kind of used to it. As long as they’re giving effort, they’re all learning. They’re making mistakes, but overall, that’s what we’re trying to do. No matter who’s out, no matter who’s not playing, other guys are happy to get minutes.” - Gregg Popovich after his team’s loss against the Jazz in their game on Wednesday.

“Draymond willed us to victory tonight. His frustration early with the way we were playing. Mad at the world. Yelling at everybody, their bench, our bench, me, and frankly we all deserved it.” - Steve Kerr after his team’s win against the Pelicans in their game on Tuesday.
