San Antonio Spurs vs Golden State Warriors Prediction: Warriors have a chance to improve terrible road record

The NBA midseason has arrived and we are now going to swirl in the trade scenarios as things will get heated in the coming weeks. This is a phase where we witness a lot of rumors and also the shuffling of the rosters becomes commonplace especially around the last few days before the 9th February deadline. In this NBA Regular Season game, the San Antonio Spurs are going to take on the Golden State Warriors.

The Spurs come into this game after losing 129:135 against the Memphis Grizzlies to mark their third straight loss. The Spurs have now been relegated to 29 losses and just have 13 wins. This was expected from the Spurs that is vastly inexperienced and had been slated to head into the lottery. While having talents like Devin Vassell and Keldon Johnson helps, the overall balance on the defensive end has been abysmal. However, just like any other Greg Popovich-led team, the Spurs are among top teams in terms of assists per game which means the young guys are building great habits in their budding days.

The Warriors come into this game after losing 113:125 despite a 29 points performance by Klay Thompson to bring the team’s losing streak to three. This was perhaps the worst loss for the team this season as they had a full-strength squad led by Curry at home and were playing a Suns team that was on a long losing streak. The Warriors have fumbled their bag after playing poorly at home and being already a poor team away from home. Their defense isn’t even 10% of what was it last season and the title defense isn’t going well. Perhaps losing key role players such as Gary Payton II, Nemanja Bjelica, and Otto Porter has derailed their balance.

It isn’t like the Spurs have been a strong team this season but the Warriors have lost the plot even against struggling squads. They need to correct their course now away from home or they will be fighting for a Play-in spot which is a big downfall. Both teams are awful defensively so this can be a high-scorer and really it is difficult to predict who will come on top. I see Curry taking over here and the Warriors bringing in a win. I predict a scoreline of 133:124 in favor of the Warriors.
