This is a high total, but two of the best defensive teams in the NBA are meeting. San Antonio is #5 in points allowed and #11 in field goal shooting defense, while Golden State is #1, allowing 42% shooting by opponents. Golden State is also #4 in three-point shooting defense. San Antonio is in the second of a back-to-back spot, and the UNDER is 6-1 when the Spurs are playing on no rest. They are also 4-1 UNDER the total on the road. Golden State is on a 5-2 run UNDER the total, plus 4-1 UNDER against a team with a winning record. The Warriors are trying to avenge one of their two home losses, so look for a supreme defensive effort by the home team. And when these teams meet the UNDER is 7-3. This one stays UNDER the total.
