We are in the closing stages of the NBA regular season and this Saturday a total of 8 teams will hit the hardwood in the Association. The Golden State Warriors head to San Antonio to take on the Spurs in hopes of maintaining their grip on the 3rd seed. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:30 pm ET on NBA TV, and I’ve prepared a same game parlay which is available below.
After checking it out, be sure to go through our predictions on the side and total for the rest of Saturday’s action.
Let’s dive in!
Golden State Warriors 11+ win margin (+165)
Jordan Poole to score 30+ points (+162)
Andrew Wiggins 3+ made threes (+106)
Parlay odds: +1012
Golden State Warriors 11+ win margin (+165)
This game doesn’t have any significance to the Spurs, who are already locked into the 10th seed in the West. Golden State has to win to maintain a hold on the 3rd seed, with the Dallas Mavericks being half a game behind. San Antonio’s best player, Dejounte Murray, hasn’t played in 4 games and isn’t expected back tonight. His team has gone 3-1 during that stretch, however 2 of those wins were against a tanking Blazers team. The Warriors have already won at San Antonio once this season and they didn’t even have their starters in that game. I’m expecting a lot from them tonight, they’ve won 3 in a row and their last 2 wins were by 16 points against the Lakers and 19 points at Sacramento.

Jordan Poole to score 30+ points (+162)
Jordan Poole let me down the other day against the Lakers when I backed him to score 30 points, instead it was Klay Thompson who caught fire and torched LA for 33 points. With Thompson out of the lineup tonight, it’s time for Poole to make amends. With the way he has played this season, he is in the running to win the Most Improved Player award. Over his last 10 games he’s averaging 26.9 points per game on solid shooting splits (44% from the field, 39.6% from downtown and 94% free throws) and against San Antonio he already has a 31-point game under his belt, which was played in San Antonio. He’s the top scoring option on the floor for Golden State and with the Spurs resting a few key names, it makes it a lot easier for him to get points in this one.

Andrew Wiggins 3+ made threes (+106)
Andrew Wiggins has been steadily increasing his production in the absence of Stephen Curry. Over his last 10 games he is averaging 17.1 points per game and he is off to a solid start in April, averaging 19.7 points in 3 games. Just 2 months ago he was averaging 13.8 points per game, so it’s quite an improvement. His 3-point shooting has also risen significantly, from 1.5 made threes per game in March to a whopping 3.3 in April. Although it is a smaller sample size, he is connecting on 62% of threes this month. With Steph and Klay out, he will get his attempts in this one, and he only has to connect on 3 of them for our bet to land.
