Spurs are in great form heading into this game to begin their annual rodeo, starting out taking on Golden State Warriors and after beating them by 35 in their last rout, they will look to continue their great performance again.

Roger Mason Jr, has been one of the stand out performers for the Spurs and he has been averaging almost 12 points in his first season with the Spurs and with Manu Ginobli back in form, and following him from the bench, it will only be natural that the Spurs should easily take this game tonight.

Golden State are struggling as they dont have a decent big man, with Stephen Jackson having to play at the 4 spot most of the season, which isn't good taking on the defensive minded and rebounding team like the Spurs. Monta Ellis could be the only impactful player as he is quite fresh after a long rest, and would be their go to guy down the stretch.

But at the end of the day its the defense that will help the Spurs win this game, who have been winning by an average margin of almost 4 points per game.
