The Spurs quickly saw their young core develop into an NBA title contender. San Antonio reached the NBA Finals last season and even upset the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference Finals before falling to the New York Knicks.

San Antonio had a tough start, falling to Oklahoma City and  Houston to begin the 2026-27 campaign. However, the Spurs have clearly found their stride, with a 10-game winning streak that includes wins against the  Timberwolves, Blazers, and Mavericks. 

As a result of San Antonio’s surge, the Spurs are currently in second place in the Western Conference, just a half-game behind the Lakers. The Spurs have been extremely efficient on offense during their winning streak, averaging 121.4 PPG over their last five contests.

C Victor Wembanyama has entered the MVP conversation early in the 2026-27 season, averaging 30.2 PPG, 11.7 RPG, and 4.4 BPG in 12 games. According to PrizePicks, Wembanyama has a 2.32x payout to win MVP, edging out PG Luka Doncic (2.5x) and PG Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (7.69x).

As impressive as the Spurs have been, they still haven't been quite at full strength. San Antonio signed F Tobias Harris to a two-year, $30.8 million deal in the offseason, but he hasn't made his season debut due to a calf injury.

Meanwhile, the Warriors had an unfamiliar feeling in 2025-26 as they missed the postseason for the fourth time in the last 14 seasons. Golden State was eliminated in the Play-In Tournament and dealt with injuries to G Stephen Curry and F Jimmy Butler throughout the campaign.

The Warriors have gotten off to a strong start in 2026-27, looking like one of the more well-rounded units in the Western Conference at 8-4. However, those hopes were met with a sobering dose of reality earlier this week.

Curry suffered an oblique abdominal tear in the first quarter of Wednesday’s game against the Rockets and was forced to exit. Following an MRI, ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Curry will be out for at least two weeks, and the injury could sideline Curry for closer to a month. 

Before the injury, Curry had a sensational start to the new campaign, ranking fourth in scoring with 27.8 PPG and shooting 45.7% from beyond the arc. 

Butler is still working his way back from a torn ACL that he suffered last January. With Curry out for the foreseeable future, the Warriors could lean on rookie F Yaxel Lendeborg to shoulder much of the scoring load. 

For the Spurs, PG De'Aaron Fox (hip) is questionable, and Harris remains out, per the NBA injury report.
