Spurs Haven’t Covered in Nine Straight Road Games
The San Antonio Spurs managed to avoid a four-game sweep at the hands of the Golden State Warriors thanks to a 103-90 win in Game 4, and the Spurs will look to collect another win when they travel back to the Bay Area for Game 5 on Tuesday. Can the Spurs reverse their recent misfortunes at Oracle Arena? San Antonio is 0-6 SU in its past six trips to Golden State.
Sportsbook opened the Spurs as 11-point road underdogs with a total of 204.5.
The Spurs, who won’t have head coach Gregg Popovich on the sidelines for the third straight game following the death of his wife, will look to interim coach Ettore Messina once again. San Antonio was lights-out from downtown in Game 4, going 15-for-28 from three-point range. Manu Ginobili (3-for-5), Dejounte Murray (3-for-4) and LaMarcus Aldridge (3-for-3) led the way for the Spurs. Ginobili and Tony Parker set an NBA record on Sunday with their 132nd postseason win as teammates.
Golden State shooting guard Klay Thompson shot 63.3 percent from the floor and 65 percent from three-point range while averaging 25.7 points in the first three games of the series but struggled to the tune of 12 points on 4-of-16 shooting in Game 4. Draymond Green hasn’t been much of a factor offensively for Golden State, as the power forward is shooting 33.3 percent in the series.
San Antonio has been a brutal road bet lately. In the Spurs’ past nine road games, they’re 0-9 ATS.
