Spurs vs. Warriors: Public Bettors Willing to Lay Points
Our NBA Public Betting Information page indicates that 67% of public bettors are currently backing the Warriors when it comes to the spread. This information is subject to change throughout the day, however, so be sure to check the link so you’re receiving the most up-to-date public betting data.
Osman Not Available vs. Warriors
Cedi Osman (right ankle sprain) will not be available for Saturday’s game against the Warriors. Osman was limited to six minutes in Thursday’s loss to the Kings and will not be available on Saturday. His absence will not significantly impact fantasy basketball. Still, it should mean more playing time for Malaki Branham and Blake Wesley, with the former being worth a look in deeper fantasy leagues.
Curry’s MRI Comes Back Clean
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the MRI on Stephen Curry’s sprained right ankle returned clean. Curry injured his ankle during the fourth quarter of Thursday’s loss to the Bulls. While no concrete timeline has been provided, Wojnarowski reported that one will depend on how Curry’s ankle responds to treatment in the coming days. At a minimum, he will miss Saturday’s game against the Spurs, but there is optimism Curry will not miss a significant amount of time. Chris Paul and Klay Thompson have the most to gain fantasy-wise, as one will be tabbed to replace Curry in the starting lineup.
