Durant Expected Back for Warriors Tonight at Spurs
The Golden State Warriors continue its current four-game road trip with a stop in San Antonio on Monday night. They tangle in an 8 p.m. tip against the Spurs. As part of ESPN’s doubleheader of betting action at BetAnySports, the Warriors are 2.5-point favorites with the total set at 225.5 points.
The Warriors are just 5-5 straight-up in their last 10 games. They are a costly 4-11 record against the spread in their last 15 contests. They come into Monday’s game with important back-to-back road wins against Houston and Oklahoma City. They closed as underdogs at BetAnySports. They are 47-21 SU overall while going 28-39-1 ATS. The total stayed UNDER 228.5 points in Saturday’s 110-88 victory against the Thunder. The total has stayed UNDER in Golden State’s last seven games.
Kevin Durant missed his last two starts with a sore ankle, but he is expected to play on Monday night. Stephen Curry helped fill the void with a game-high 33 points in Saturday’s win. Each of these players is averaging close to 28 points a game this season. The Warriors lead the NBA with an average of 117.9 points a game.
Spurs Are Red-Hot Coming Into Tonight’s Game
San Antonio is riding a eight-game winning streak with Saturday’s 108-103 victory against Portland. They were a 2.5-point home favorite. The Spurs have covered BetAnySports’ closing spread in seven of the eight games. They are 41-29 SU overall and holding down sixth place in the Western Conference standings. San Antonio is 28-7 SU with a 23-12 record ATS on its home court this season.
With 21.7 PPG, DeMar DeRozan is the Spurs leading scorer this season. He put up 21 points against Portland after being held to just 13 points in Friday night’s win against the New York Knicks. San Antonio slips to 16th in the NBA in scoring with 111.9 PPG, but it has not allowed more than 105 points in eight of its last nine games. The Spurs are 13th in the league in points allowed overall (110.4).
The Warriors have been a tough team to bet on the road this season at 16-18 ATS overall and 3-5 ATS in their last eight road games. However, I still like their chances to come away with the SU win on Monday night as slight favorites.
