The Trends-

  • Under is 13-6 in the last 19 meetings.

The Warriors are yet to drop a game post-season, while the Spurs have hit a few bumps in the road, most notably the loss of floor general Tony Parker for the season (possibly forever) and a sprained Khawi Leonard ankle.

The good news is that Khawi has had 3 days to rest up, and he’ll need it coming into a series which will require him to come around more screens and picks than any man should.

The expert opinions say that the Spurs don’t have a chance against the Warriors, who are starting 4 NBA All-Stars and and former All-Star coming off the bench.

The -10.0 line of the Warriors is pretty hefty coming into a Game 1, and we’d lean that way if forced to pick, but we won’t be outlaying on any spreads in this one. We’ll go the Total Overs line here, with a Warriors win.

Shame this is scheduled for Mother’s Day, sorry mother, you’ll have around 35% of my attention at lunch.

Get on the sweep for some value- Golden State Warriors 4-0 @ 4.25
