Golden State Warriors at San Antonio Spurs Prediction
With just one game, we have seen the price on Golden State double reflecting what transpired in Game Three. Almost certainly, this market is playing on public perception as the Warriors had a little more difficulty with San Antonio on its own court in Game Three when comparing the margin of victory between Game Two and Game Three. With this being said, San Antonio is without two key players making them a risky play. However, the Spurs are still ever formidable and you can rest assured they are going to go off on their shield in hopes of deflecting a potential sweep. Golden State’s stock is so high at the moment that it cannot be any higher. Golden State despite being an economy play when they spot single-digit points have been subjected to some lofty lays, as well. In these situations they have been far less profitable. Given the fact the sweep is expected here, this is likely a great opportunity to snag home points at an enhanced price.
Free Pick:
Take San Antonio +12 (-105)
