NBA Picks: Golden State Warriors vs. San Antonio Spurs, Game 2

The San Antonio Spurs are 14-5 against the spread in their last 19 home games versus the Golden State Warriors, which is important to consider when making your NBA playoff picks on Wednesday as the two teams meet at the AT&T Center.

Sports bettors will find that the Spurs are seven-point favorites in the pro basketball odds (courtesy of SBR Forum), while the total sits at 205.

Let's take a closer look at Game 2 of this Western Conference semifinal series from a betting perspective, while offering up an against-the-spread pick along the way.

Golden State Warriors

The Golden State Warriors dropped a 129-127 double-overtime decision to the San Antonio Spurs as nine-point road underdogs on Monday night. They failed to hold onto a 16-point lead with less than four minutes remaining in regulation.

Sports bettors will find that the Warriors are 10-1 against the spread in their last 11 games following a straight-up loss.

San Antonio Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs were fortunate to come away with a victory in Game 1, as they missed eight of their first nine shots from the field.

Over the last two-plus seasons, the Spurs are 10-2 straight up and 8-4 against the spread when leading in a playoff series, with the UNDER going 7-5 in that situation. 

Prediction

I'm going to recommend that readers back the San Antonio Spurs in the first half as one of their NBA playoff picks on Wednesday, as they've gone 10-5-1 against the spread as home favorites of 6.5 to nine points since the start of the regular season.
