Point Spread: -3.00 | -115.00 San Antonio (Home)
Result: Win
As great as the Warriors are, they are trumped in this spot by San Antonio.
The Spurs have won 43 in a row at home. They haven't lost to the Warriors at home during the regular season since 1997 - a streak of 32 consecutive victories! Even more important, the Spurs have eagerly anticipated this revenge game since getting blown out, 120-90, at Golden State on Jan. 25.
The Warriors played last night dispatching Dallas, 130-112, in impressive style. Dallas played well in that loss despite the lopsided score. The Warriors had to use their best players for 34-36 minutes and lost center Andrew Bogut to an injury in the game. That means the Warriors are down three of their top eight players with Andre Iguodala and Festus Ezeli also out with injuries.
The Spurs have one of the best and deepest frontcourts in the league with Tim Duncan, LaMarcus Aldridge, David West and Boris Diaw. The Warriors are at an extreme disadvantage here being thin upfront.
Golden State has failed to cover four of the last five times when playing without rest. San Antonio is 9-2 ATS in its last 11 home games when going against an opponent with a road winning percentage greater than .600.
