Spurs vs. Warriors: 3 Best Bets

The San Antonio Spurs continue their road trip as they take on the Golden State Warriors. We have you covered with our three best bets before tipoff.

The San Antonio Spurs are coming off a brutal loss to the Sacramento Kings on Thursday night, and are hoping to get back to the form they found against the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder last week.

The Golden State Warriors are also coming off a loss, against the Chicago Bulls. The Warriors are tenth in the Western Conference, but as long as Steph Curry is playing, they will be a dangerous team in the playoffs.

Tonight's game will not be the star-studded affair that fans were asking for. Cedi Osman, Charles Bassey, and Victor Wembanyama are all out for the Spurs, and Curry won't suit up for Golden State. Rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis is questionable for the Warriors.

Keep it posted here for our three best bets, powered by the lines at SI Sportsbook.

The Lines

Point spread: Warriors -10.5 (-118)/Spurs +10.5 (-110)

Money line: Warriors (-599)/Spurs (+410)

Over/under: 227.5

Our Picks

Safe pick: Devin Vassell OVER 22.5 points (-133)

In the matchup with the Kings, Devin Vassell was all over the place, scoring 30 points on wildly efficient shooting. Over his last five games, he's been averaging 23.6 points while being a steady shooting presence from everywhere. With Wembanyama out, the offense will continue to run through Vassell. 

Team pick: Spurs +10.5 (-110)

Despite losing to the Kings, the Spurs managed to cover the spread.  Plus, the Spurs only lost by six in their last matchup with Golden State. Granted, the Warriors are playing for playoff seeding, so expect them to win and play hard, but the Spurs shouldn't lose by double digits.

Mock Draft: Who Do Spurs Take at No. 3?

Passing parlay: Tre Jones OVER 5.5 asissts, Draymond Green OVER 5.5 asissts (+130)

Both Tre Jones and Draymond Green are averaging well over six assists over their last five games, and with Wembanayama out, Jones will continue to set the table for his teammates, after recording 12 in the recent loss. Both the Warriors and Spurs are top five in the league in assists, so expect the rock to make its way around the court.
