After defeating the Memphis Grizzlies and Houston Rockets in two six game-series, the San Antonio Spurs are on to the Western Conference Finals, where they’ll play the Golden State Warriors, who swept both the Portland Trail Blazers and Utah Jazz. While the Warriors are completely healthy, the Spurs will be without Tony Parker, who ruptured his quadriceps tendon in the second round and is now out for the rest of the playoffs. The Spurs’ lone All-Star Kawhi Leonard might also not be 100%, after he sustained a left ankle sprain late in the second round as well.
During the regular season, the Spurs defeated the Warriors 2-1 in the season series, but the data and matchups aren’t very reliable because of when the games took place and since both teams were missing key pieces in all three meetings.
