Warriors Aim for Series Sweep vs Spurs
The Golden State Warriors haven’t been playing at full strength but are getting the job done regardless. The Warriors can close out their first-round series with the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4 at AT&T Center on Sunday. The Warriors are covering machines when facing the Spurs in Texas, as Golden State is 5-1 ATS in its past six trips to Texas.
Sportsbook opened the Spurs as 7.5-point home underdogs with a total of 205.
Kevin Durant and Shaun Livingston exited the game for the Dubs late in Game 3 after rolling their ankles, but neither injury is considered serious, so expect to see both on the floor tonight. Stephen Curry’s knee injury is coming along slowly, but the Warriors’ defense has stepped up in his absence. Golden State has held San Antonio to an average of 96.7 points in the series.
Following the death of his wife, Erin, Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich missed Game 3 and is not expected to be on the sidelines tonight. Interim head coach Ettore Messina has taken over in Pop’s place as a result. LaMarcus Aldridge collected his second straight double-double with 18 points and 10 boards in Game 3.
The Spurs have a habit of going OVER in the first round, as the OVER is 6-0-1 in San Antonio’s last seven first round contests.
