20* Golden State Warriors
Tonight I am taking the Golden State Warriors as home favorites as they wrap up the series against the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs had their emotional Game 4 home win where they avoided an embarrassing sweep but that's about it. They will be without Future Hall of Fame coach Greg Popovich again tonight and even more importantly, they are the worst road team in the playoffs. San Antonio is 14-29 on the road this season and in their last 10 road affairs they haven't won a single contest and usually get blown out. The Warriors desperately want the series to end tonight so they aren't the last team to move on in the Western Conference with all the series either 3-1 or over. These teams just aren't on the same level and after their double digit loss in Game 4 the Warriors are going to come out and bring it from the opening tip to the final buzzer. Take Golden State as they win BiG and move on to the next round!
