Golden State Warriors
Moneyline Pick: Golden State Warriors (-1100) - Grade: B

Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors enter this late-season matchup winning 5 of their last 6, looking to shore up playoff positioning in the crowded Western Conference. Meanwhile, the rebuilding San Antonio Spurs, who have dropped 8 of their last 9, are playing out the season with an eye toward development and 2025 draft capital. The Alamo City squad has dealt with inconsistency, and although Victor Wembanyama continues to shine with generational flashes, it’s hard to see this young, defense-challenged roster slowing down a surging Warriors team in their home fortress. Andrew Wiggins and Jonathan Kuminga are both healthy and complement Curry’s hot shooting, while Draymond Green’s physicality is likely to unsettle San Antonio’s rhythm.  The Spurs have already been eliminated from postseason contention, which could impact effort levels, while Golden State still has seeding at stake and a chance to stay out of the Play-In zone. Though the -1100 moneyline offers limited value for casual bettors, it remains a safe play due to matchup disparity and late-season motivation, meriting a B grade. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Over/Under Pick: Under 232, (-110) - Grade: B

As the Dubs host the Spurs on Wednesday night, all eyes will be on Stephen Curry—who has historically dominated San Antonio—but Golden State’s recent scoring dip may keep this from becoming a shootout. The Warriors, while holding a strong 47-32 record, are 4-1 in their last five. Meanwhile, the Silver and Black enter this matchup with few recent wins to speak of and remain out of playoff contention at 32-47, which could lead to less urgency and more experimentation with lineups. Spurs star Victor Wembanyama continues to shine defensively, and his rim protection should curb easy looks for the Warriors in transition. Historically, Spurs-Warriors games have struggled to clip the 230 mark, and with both teams near the end of their schedule—Golden State aiming to avoid a play-in scenario and San Antonio already looking to next year—the pace may not support a high-scoring affair. Given the defensive dynamics and current performances, the Under feels like the sharper play here. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Spread Pick: San Antonio Spurs, +15.5 (-110) - Grade: C-

Victor Wembanyama and the young Spurs are limping into Chase Center on the tail end of a disappointing season, and their consolation prize is welcoming a hot Warriors team who is looking to avoid play-in games for the post-season. While the Warriors have won four of their last five and are closing out a strong home stand with another win. Historically, Andrew Wiggins has struggled against the Spurs’ length, and if Coach Popovich slows the tempo and emphasizes mismatch play with Devin Vassell, the Silver and Black have enough firepower to keep the game within double digits. It’s tough siding with a 47-loss team against playoff royalty, but given the size of the spread and late-season dynamics, there’s modest value in taking the points. Odds and availability are subject to change.
