Warriors vs Spurs Prediction
The Spurs are coming in with a full squad once again, while the Warriors have ruled out Stephen Curry, Al Horford, Moses Moody and Jimmy Butler III once again. These teams have already clashed three times this season with the Warriors leading the series by 2-1, but they are just so banged up for this meeting, so they are going to find it hard to hang with the Spurs, who are currently the hottest team in the league right now. The Warriors are capable of keeping this one close if they can get hot from behind the arc, but I think the more likely outcome is that the Spurs get off to a flyer and cruise their way to another easy win and cover on the road.
