Golden State will have home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. It’s just a matter if they will end up as the third or fourth seed. The Warriors have won their last three games and covered the last four. Tonight they are in San Antonio to face a Spurs team that is headed for the play-in tournament.

The Spurs know that they will be facing the Pelicans in the 9-10 (seed) matchup of the play-in tournament. The next Pelicans win or Spurs loss will mean that game is guaranteed to be in New Orleans. Regardless, the Spurs are facing a situation where they’ll have to win two games next week (likely both on the road) to make the playoffs.

Over its last nine games, San Antonio is 7-2 SU and 8-1 ATS.

I’m looking at the Under cashing Saturday night. The Spurs have held their last three opponents below 43% shooting from the field. It looks like Klay Thompson, after a 33-point effort against the Lakers, will be given the night off. The Warriors are already without Steph Curry. Even if Thompson were to play, he’s not going 12 of 22 from the field again.

The Warriors will go into the playoffs near the top of the league in defensive efficiency. San Antonio has been without leading scorer Dejounte Murray the last few games and he’s questionable for tonight (still recovering from illness) as are several other starters.
