San Antonio Spurs vs Golden State Warriors prediction

The Golden State Warriors as 9 point favorites without Curry was strange at first, but then you realize the Spurs won't have Wembanyama. The Spurs are hot garbage without the star rookie, and they become another level of stink without him. The Golden State Warriors still have guys who can pick up the slack in Curry's absence, and these are games they can't lose as they fight for playoff positioning. I want no parts of the Spurs most nights, and it's even worse with no Wembanyama. Give me the Warriors.
