Golden State Warriors Looking to Bounce Back

The Warriors' eight-game winning streak was snapped in their seven-point loss on the road to Houston. Golden State’s Stephen Curry left the game in the first quarter and did not return due to abdominal soreness. Golden State was down nine early in the fourth but rallied to trail by only three, but could not get closer. Yaxel Lendeborg scored 25 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to lead the Warriors. Braddin Podziemski chipped in with 22 points for Golden State. 

Curry leads Golden State with 30.6 points per game, followed by Lendeborg with 21.4. Lendeborg also leads the team with 7.2 rebounds, while Draymond Green averages 7.6 assists. The Warriors score 120.4 points per game and allow 111.5. Golden State is shooting 47.7% from the floor and an impressive 40.3% from three-point range. Curry's injury is a major concern, particularly against one of the league's better defensive teams.

Injuries: Curry is questionable. Gary Payton II, Brandon Williams, Kristaps Porzingis and Moses Moody are out.

San Antonio Spurs Riding Ten-Game Winning Streak

San Antonio trailed by 22 points before rallying to beat Chicago on Wednesday. The Spurs trailed 64-42 in the second quarter, but after the break, they were nearly unstoppable. An 18-3 run in the third quarter erased most of the deficit. The Spurs then had an 11-2 run during the fourth to take control. Victor Wembanyama was the leading scorer for San Antonio with 32. Dylan Harper scored 18 and dished out 10 assists. The Spurs opened the season with two consecutive losses but have won 10 straight since then. 

Wembanyama leads San Antonio with 30.1 points, 11.9 rebounds, and 4.4 blocks per game. Harper averages 18.0 points, while De'Aaron Fox leads the team with 5.9 assists. The Spurs score 118.7 points per game and give up just 108.0. San Antonio also averages 49.0 rebounds, giving the team a strong presence inside. Opponents have struggled to deal with Wembanyama at both ends of the floor.

Injuries: Devin Vassell, Tobias Harris and Jayden Quaintance are out.

Key To The Game

Curry's availability could make a big difference. Golden State relies heavily on his outside shooting, but San Antonio has Wembanyama protecting the basket and controlling the boards. The Warriors must keep the Spurs from getting second-chance opportunities. San Antonio also needs a better start after falling behind badly against Chicago.

Golden State Warriors vs San Antonio Spurs Game Pick

• San Antonio Spurs

San Antonio has won ten straight, and the Spurs are getting strong performances from Wembanyama nearly every night. Golden State had been playing excellent basketball before losing to Houston, but Curry's injury raises questions about its offense. Even with Curry available, the Warriors will have trouble matching San Antonio's size inside. Wembanyama gives the Spurs a major advantage around the basket, and their defense has been more reliable. I like San Antonio to extend its winning streak.

Golden State Warriors vs San Antonio Spurs Over/Under Pick

• Under

Golden State scores over 120 per game, but without Curry in the lineup, will have trouble reaching that. The Warriors scored just 108 versus Houston, without Curry for three quarters. San Antonio has a strong defense that allows just over 108 points each night. The Spurs have plenty of offense to score plenty of points, but Wembanyama inside will limit the Warriors to fewer good looks and second-chance opportunities. With Curry's status uncertain and San Antonio playing well defensively, I'm taking the under.
