Make it five straight FREE winners and 28 of my last 41 after the Bulls just got inside the number at home against the Lakers. Tonight I'm right back on the NBA hardwood with a comp winner on the Warriors as they host the Spurs.

I know San Antonio has won six straight and eight of 10 against the Warriors, but now the young legs of Golden State gets the aging legs of the Spurs on the second night of a back-to-back.

The Spurs are traditionally bad on the second night of a back-to-back and this year they are 0-3 ATS. San Antonio manages just 95.7 points a game on the road while Golden State puts up 112.7 points per contest when they are home.

The Warriors lost to Philadelphia on Monday and ended their five-game road trip 1-4 (1-3-1 ATS). Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry make for a potent backcourt and I think they can handle the backcourt of Keith Bogans and Tony Parker.

San Antonio is on ATS slides of 2-6 overall, 2-8 on the road and 6-13 on Wednesdays. The Warriors are on ATS runs of 5-1 at home, 13-3 at home after a road trip of seven or more days and 37-12-2 as a hoem ‘dog and 6-2-1 after getting one day off.

The home team is 6-2-1 ATS in the last nine meetings between these two squads.

I’m not saying Golden State is going to pull off the outright upset, but they will keep it close throughout and definitely get within the number against the Spurs.
