Prediction

The Golden State Warriors are the favorites to win this one, but it won’t be straightforward. San Antonio is currently leading their Southwest Division, and this tells that they’re a team that’s on the rise. 

Spurs are a good defensive unit, but they’d have a lot of work to do when they face Curry, Green, and Wiseman on the court. Though the Spurs seem like a team that can pose a threat, they could be overpowered by Curry and his men.
