The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook isn’t giving the San Antonio Spurs much of a chance against the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference finals.
WARRIORS vs SPURS
EVENTS: 2017 NBA REGULAR SEASON
A $100 bet on the Warriors to win the series would win $6.25. That same $100 bet on the Spurs would win $900.
The Warriors are 8-0 this postseason and are looking to return to the NBA Finals for the third straight year. Standing in their way is a playoff-tested San Antonio team, albeit one that is without injured point guard Tony Parker and now has a banged-up Kawhi Leonard.
Golden State was a -20,000 favorite against the Portland Trail Blazers in the first round of the postseason and a -10,000 favorite against the Utah Jazz in the second round. The Warriors are currently 5-14 favorites to win the NBA title after opening the season 3-2 back in May 2016.
