\"The
The San Antonio Spurs have won 29 consecutive home games against the Golden State Warriors<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Golden State advanced past the Denver Nuggets in six games in its Western Conference quarterfinal series, as it closed things out with a 92-88 victory as two-point home favorites last Thursday, while going UNDER the total for a second consecutive contest.\u00a0 The Warriors are going to need a big series out of point guard Stephen Curry, who knocked down 272 3-pointers during the regular season.\u00a0 Golden State is 6-0 ATS in the 2013 playoffs, which can\u2019t be ignored when making your NBA picks against the spread Monday night.<\/p>\n

The Warriors were 19-22 overall when playing away from Oracle Arena during the regular season, which included an 11-15 mark versus conference foes.\u00a0 Curry is averaging 24.3 points and 9.3 assists during the postseason, while leading the franchise to its first series win since 2007.\u00a0 The team is averaging 101.6 points per game on the offensive end, but allowing 100.5, which ends up being a slim +1.1 point differential.<\/p>\n

San Antonio hasn\u2019t been seen on an NBA court since April 28, as it earned a four-game sweep of the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round\u2014winning each of those contests by a double-digit margin.\u00a0 The Spurs limited the Lakers to 85.3 points per game in the series, which can\u2019t be ignored when looking over the pro basketball odds page.\u00a0 Point guard Tony Parker and forward Tim Duncan continue to lead this franchise, averaging 22.3 and 17.5 points during the playoffs.\u00a0 San Antonio is 10-4 ATS as home favorites of 6.5 to 9 points this season.<\/p>\n

The Spurs were 35-6 overall at the AT&T Center during the regular season, including an impressive 23-4 mark versus conference rivals.\u00a0 San Antonio has won 29 consecutive home games against Golden State, while it owns a 97-52 overall advantage in regular season play.\u00a0 Parker may be overlooked in this matchup due to Curry\u2019s recent exploits, but he\u2019s scored 20-or-more points in 72 career postseason games.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely play the total in this affair, as the UNDER is 4-1 in the last five meetings in San Antonio.<\/p>\n
