"Tonight's Spurs vs Warriors matchup at the Chase Center pits Wemby and the surging San Antonio Spurs (37-16), riding a five-game win streak, against a depleted Golden State Warriors (29-25) squad. Fresh off a historic 40-point performance against the Lakers last night, "Wemby" is looking to avenge two early-season losses to Golden State. However, the narrative tonight is as much about who isn't playing as who is."
"The Warriors are navigating a full-blown injury crisis as Stephen Curry is out with "runner's knee," joined on the sidelines by trade-deadline acquisition Kristaps Porzingis and the veteran Jimmy Butler. Despite the missing star power, Golden State has a knack for playing the Spurs tough, making this a fascinating "trap game" scenario for San Antonio on the second night of a back-to-back."
The Spurs (37-16) enter the game on a five-game win streak with Wemby fresh off a 40-point game and seeking revenge for two early-season losses to Golden State. The Warriors (29-25) are missing Stephen Curry (runner's knee), Kristaps Porzingis, and Jimmy Butler, leaving Brandin Podziemski and Draymond Green to compensate. San Antonio faces a potential complication with Stephon Castle listed as a game-time decision after a pelvic bruise sustained against the Lakers. Betting markets list the Spurs as a sizable road favorite, and the Over/Under of 220.5 and Golden State's scoring struggles without Curry add uncertainty.
