Golden State Warriors @ San Antonio Spurs 11/13/2026
Golden State visits San Antonio on Friday, Nov. 13, with both teams carrying strong records into a matchup that looks considerably different depending on Stephen Curry’s availability. The Spurs are 9-2 and riding a five-game winning streak, while the Warriors are 8-3 after a loss in Houston snapped their recent run. San Antonio’s latest win was a 124-119 comeback at Chicago; Golden State fell 115-108 to the Rockets. The supplied moneyline favors the home team heavily at -500, with Golden State listed at +396. The key betting wrinkle is that Curry’s status is uncertain in the supplied preview information, while Jimmy Butler is listed as out. That availability question matters for both the moneyline and the total.

Our 3 Betting Predictions for Golden State Warriors @ San Antonio Spurs
1. Moneyline: San Antonio Spurs to win
Pick: Spurs moneyline, -500. Estimated win probability: 78%. San Antonio has the better record, is on a five-game winning streak, and has been producing strong results on the road. The Spurs’ latest win—coming back from a large deficit to beat Chicago—showed they can keep their composure when a game gets difficult. Golden State is capable of catching fire, but the uncertainty around Curry and Butler’s reported absence make the Warriors a tougher team to back at this price. The Spurs are the straightforward side, though -500 is a steep price and leaves little room for error. Consider the number carefully rather than treating it as a bargain.
2. Spread: Golden State Warriors +9.5
Pick: Warriors +9.5. Estimated cover probability: 54%. The supplied betting information does not include a spread price or a confirmed spread line, so this is a conditional recommendation rather than a quoted market. Golden State has averaged 121.6 points over its last five games, and even after the Houston loss, the Warriors’ recent form has been solid. A spread near 9.5 gives them room to stay within reach if Curry plays—or if their offense finds enough rhythm without him. If Curry is confirmed out, this angle becomes much less appealing; check the injury report and shop for the best number before betting it.

3. Total: Lean Over 229.5 points
Pick: Over 229.5 points. Estimated probability: 52%. The listed recent results suggest plenty of offensive potential. San Antonio has averaged 123.0 points across its last five games, and Golden State has averaged 121.6 across its last five. Those figures point toward a high-scoring matchup, although they are each team’s scoring averages—not a prediction that both will automatically reach those marks here. The over depends on pace, shooting, and especially Curry’s status. If he is ruled out, the Warriors could lose a major source of shot creation, making a lower total more attractive. Since no official total or price was supplied, treat 229.5 as a reference point and compare it with the posted line.
Team Statistics and Current Form
San Antonio Spurs: Five Straight Wins and a Strong Start
San Antonio enters at 9-2, a .818 win percentage. The Spurs are 4-2 at home and 5-0 over their last five games, so their recent momentum is hard to miss. Their latest result was a 124-119 road win over Chicago. Across the five most recent results provided, San Antonio scored 122, 125, 124, 112, and 124 points—an average of 121.4 points per game. The team has also shown it can win in different ways: the Chicago game required a comeback, while the other recent victories included more comfortable margins.
There is a small discrepancy between the supplied summary and the match database: the summary lists San Antonio’s away record as 2-2, while the match-specific standings show 5-0 away and 4-2 at home. The standings data attached to this game records 11 games played, with nine wins and two losses. Either way, San Antonio’s overall start is excellent, and the team arrives with confidence.
Golden State Warriors: Productive Offense, but Curry’s Status Looms
Golden State is 8-3, with a .727 win percentage. Its listed home record is 4-2 and away record 2-2. The Warriors have won four of their last five, though the streak ended with Wednesday’s 115-108 loss at Houston. In their last five games, they scored 108, 138, 126, 120, and 116 points—an average of 121.6 points per game. That scoring average reflects a productive stretch, highlighted by the 138-point outing against New Orleans, but it also comes with a notable range from game to game.
Golden State’s match-specific standings record lists 11 games played, eight wins, and three losses. The supplied match information also lists Jimmy Butler as absent. The broader preview notes that Curry left the Houston game with right abdominal soreness and is questionable; that report does not establish his final availability for Friday. Because his status can shift the Warriors’ offensive outlook substantially, bettors should confirm the latest update before placing a wager.
Key Player Momentum and External Factors
Victor Wembanyama has been a major force in San Antonio’s recent run. The supplied preview reports a 32-point performance against Chicago, a 40-point outing against Phoenix, and a 29-point game against Portland. It also notes that his minutes have been managed in some lopsided wins, a factor to keep in mind for player props. For Golden State, Curry is the central question after leaving the Houston game early with abdominal soreness; the information provided describes him as questionable, not a confirmed scratch. Jimmy Butler is listed as out in the match data, while the longer injury notes also list other Warriors absences. The status of Curry—and any late lineup news—could move the spread and total, so check the final injury report close to tipoff.
Last Direct Match: San Antonio Spurs vs. Golden State Warriors
The last direct meeting ended 127-113 in favor of San Antonio, with the Spurs winning on the road. The recent head-to-head summary gives San Antonio three wins and Golden State two across the last five meetings.
Performance in the Last Five Games
Spurs: 5-0, scoring an average of 121.4 points per game across the five results listed above. Their most recent win was 124-119 at Chicago.
Warriors: 4-1, scoring an average of 121.6 points per game across their last five listed results. Their latest game was a 115-108 loss at Houston.
TrustnBet Final Thoughts
The clearest pick is San Antonio on the moneyline: the Spurs are 9-2, have won five straight, and get the home-court setting. The -500 price is expensive, though, so it is more a straightforward winner prediction than an attractive value play. Golden State +9.5 is a cautious spread lean only if Curry is available and the market offers that number. The over 229.5 is also a conditional lean based on both teams’ recent scoring averages, not a firm call in the absence of a confirmed total. For the most responsible approach, check Curry’s status and compare the posted spread and total with these reference numbers before betting.
