The San Antonio Spurs and the Golden State Warriors collide at the Chase Center on Saturday night. Here’s a Spurs vs Warriors Prediction.
San Antonio Spurs
The San Antonio Spurs have been in poor form as they’ve lost seven of their last nine games overall and they will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after falling painfully short to the Kings in a 131-129 road loss on Thursday. Devin Vassell led the team with 30 points and nine assists, Malaki Branham added 23 points off the bench while Zach Collins and Keldon Johnson scored 22 points each. As a team, the Spurs shot 50 percent from the field and 16 of 34 from the 3-point line as they showed plenty of fight to claw their way back from a 20-point deficit to lead by five points with just 52 seconds remaining, before the Kings closed the game on a 7-0 run to snatch the game from them at the end. The Spurs will face the Rockets and Nuggets after this back-to-back set against the Warriors.
Golden State Warriors
Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors have been in great shape as they’ve won seven of their last 10 games overall and they will be eager to bounce back here after getting beaten by the Bulls in a 125-122 loss on Thursday. Klay Thompson led the team with 25 points off the bench, Jonathan Kuminga added 19 points with 10 rebounds while Stephen Curry chipped in with 15 points. As a team, the Warriors shot 45 percent from the field and 11 of 42 from the 3-point line as they squandered a 13-point lead to trail by 12 points in the third quarter, which proved to be just too much to overcome despite a late rally.

Spurs vs Warriors Prediction
The Spurs have already ruled out Victor Wembenyama for this one, while the Warriors are going to be missing Stephen Curry here. The Spurs haven’t been able to get anthing going lately, but they were more than competitive in their narrow loss to the Kings on Thursday, while the Warriors were on fire before they got stopped in their tracks by the Bulls in a tough loss in their last outing. The Warriors are missing their leader in this one, but they’ve been in great form and I think they can take care of business against this shorthanded Spurs squad.
