The Golden State Warriors and the San Antonio Spurs duke it out at the Frost Bank Center on Saturday night. Here’s a San Antonio Spurs vs Golden State Warriors Prediction. This article will include a San Antonio Spurs vs Golden State Warriors Pick.

Golden State Warriors

The Golden State Warriors have been on fire as they’ve won 12 of their first 15 games and they will be aiming for a third straight win after sneaking past the Pelicans in a 112-108 road win last night. Andrew Wiggins led the team with 30 points on nine of 14 shooting, Stephen Curry added 19 points with seven rebounds and seven assists while Draymond Green tallied 11 points with eight rebounds and five assists.

As a team, the Warriors shot 44 percent from the field and 12 of 37 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 34 points in the first quarter to take the early lead. However, the Warriors found themselves in a real wrestling match with the Pelicans and had to scrap to the end to get the narrow victory. The Warriors will meet the Nets, Thunder, Suns, and Nuggets after this game.

San Antonio Spurs

Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs have been in decent shape as they’ve won four of their past six games and they will be looking for a third straight victory after beating the Jazz in a 126-118 home win on Thursday. Harrison Barnes led the team with 25 points and 10 rebounds, Stephon Castle and Zach Collins each scored 18 points while Chris Paul chipped in with 13 points and 10 assists.

As a team, the Spurs shot 46 percent from the field and nine of 32 from the 3-point line as they got off to a terrible start and looked to be in trouble when they trailed by 20 points, but they looked like a different team in the second half where they outscored the Jazz by 75-51 to run them down with time to spare.

Why the Golden State Warriors will win

The Spurs have lost each of their last seven home games against Pacific Division opponents following a win.
The Warriors have won each of their last 11 games as road favorites following a road win.
The Warriors have covered the spread in each of their last eight games when playing with a rest disadvantage.
The Spurs have failed to cover the spread in each of their last four games as underdogs following a home win.

Total Points Facts

Each of the Warriors’ last nine Saturday games as favorites has gone OVER the total points line.
Five of the Spurs’ last six games as underdogs following a home win have gone OVER the total points line.

San Antonio Spurs vs Golden State Warriors Prediction

The Spurs could be shorthanded for this one as Keldon Johnson, Victor Wembenyama, and Devin Vassell are all listed as questionable, while the Warriors are coming into this one with the same squad. The Spurs have found a bit of form despite missing their best player, but I don’t think they will be able to challenge these red-hot Warriors if Wembenyama isn’t on the court. The Warriors are playing their second game of a back-to-back set, but with the line so short, I am happy to stick with the Warriors to stay hot with another win and cover.
