Key Storylines
San Antonio is playing with confidence early in the season. They have a 5‑1 home record coming into this game and they will try to improve to 2-0 in NBA Cup group play with another win at home here. Victor Wembanyama remains the anchor of their system, delivering elite two‑way impact. They have De’Aaron Fox back and will try to bounce back from a loss to these same Warriors in their last game.
Golden State comes in fresh off a win over the Spurs, but they have struggled away from home with a 2‑6 record on the road this year. Steph Curry is back after a bout with illness, giving the Dubs most of their veteran core on the floor together. They will try to use that to their advantage in this contest that is more or less an elimination game for the Warriors in cup competition.
It will be interesting to see what adjustments are made from the game these teams played earlier this week. The Spurs have to do a better job of taking Curry’s shot away from him after the Spurs were torched by the future Hall of Famer for over 40 points. But that is easier said than done, as any defense in the history of the NBA that has faced Curry would tell you.

Final Thoughts
The Warriors got the better of the Spurs in the last meeting between these teams. But I think that the Spurs will flip the script on them in this game. I’ll lay the points with San Antonio, who should rediscover their form on their home floor against a Warriors team that won’t be able to count on another 40-piece from Curry to bail out the rest of their roster.
