Golden State Warriors vs San Antonio Spurs Picks and Prediction for Friday November 13 2026

The Golden State Warriors are set to face the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night at the Frost Bank Center at 9:30 PM ET. The good news for the Spurs is they have won 10 straight games, but the Warriors are coming in after getting 8 straight wins that recently was snapped by Houston. Now, the Warriors have been scoring decent on the season, but that could be challenged as the Spurs have decent size and a great defense that has been playing good on the year.

Golden State Looks to Bounce Back

The Warriors are 8-4 overall and 2-3 on the road. The Houston Rockets were able to beat the Warriors on Wednesday by a score of 115-108 snapping an eight game win streak. The Warriors in the game prior to that loss had  hammered New Orleans 138-87 Monday. In that game the Warriors had some great offensive production from Curry and Brandin Podziemski scoring 25 points apiece. 

Golden State is putting in a total of 119.3 points. The defense for the Warriors is giving up only 111.5 through 12 games. The Warriors have been moving the ball well, and their outside shooting can change a game in a hurry. They recorded 37 assists on 50 made baskets against New Orleans. The Warriors are going to try to do the same against the Spurs, but the Spurs defense is quite a bit better than the Pelicans.

Curry entered Wednesday averaging 30.6 points per game, second in the league at the time. Rookie Yaxel Lendeborg was averaging 21.4 points, 7.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists. In the win over the Pelicans Lendeborg scored 23 points. On big question mark hanging over the Warriors is the impact that Curry’s injury, that he picked up on Wednesday, will have on the offense this game and if his playing time will be limited.

San Antonio Has Been Hard to Beat

San Antonio has been playing good on the year with a 10-2 record overall, but when playing at home the Spurs have posted a 4-2 mark. The 10th straight win for the Spurs game over the Buls by a score of 124-119. Before that win the Spurs had beaten Phoenix 122-96 Monday and Portland 125-103 Saturday. 

San Antonio is has shown up big offensively with 119.2 points per game. The defense is coming up just as big giving up only 108.0. The Spurs have enough scoring to keep up with Golden State, but the telling aspect will be how well the smothering defense is going to do for the Spurs.

Victor Wembanyama entered Wednesday averaging 30.1 points and 11.9 rebounds. He followed that with 32 points, nine rebounds and five blocked shots against Chicago. Dylan Harper added 18 points and ten assists, while De’Aaron Fox finished with 17 points and nine assists. Devin Vassell missed Wednesday’s game and the chance of him not being available in this game could impact the Spurs game plans.

Golden State Warriors vs San Antonio Spurs Picks and Prediction

Pick: San Antonio Spurs Moneyline

I like San Antonio here. Golden State can make this interesting with its outside shooting, and Curry is capable of taking over a game if he’s healthy. But the Spurs have won ten straight and have a pretty obvious advantage in size. Wembanyama is going to make Golden State work around the basket. I wouldn’t want to lay a ridiculous price, especially with the injury uncertainty, but San Antonio is my side.

Total Pick: Under 231 or Higher

Both teams can score, and that makes an under a little uncomfortable. Golden State has been averaging better than 119 points, and San Antonio isn’t far behind. The Spurs have been the better defensive team, though, and Curry’s availability could change Golden State’s offensive outlook considerably. I’d lean under at 231 or higher. If Curry is healthy and the number drops, there’s less reason to play it.

Final Picks: San Antonio Spurs Moneyline and Under 231 or Higher
