Spurs chase 11th straight win as Curry-less Warriors visit

The San Antonio Spurs put a league-best 10-game winning streak on the line against a Golden State side that has just lost Stephen Curry to an oblique abdominal tear. It is an NBA Cup group-stage game in West Group C: the 10-2 Spurs host the 8-4 Warriors, and both teams are 1-0 in Cup play.

Curry played six minutes of the 115-108 loss in Houston on 11 November before leaving with abdominal soreness. The Warriors say he will be re-evaluated in two weeks. That loss also ended an eight-game Golden State winning streak, the team's longest since 2022. Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody remain out with knee injuries, and Kristaps Porzingis is out with an illness. In 2025-26 the Warriors went 13-26 in the 39 games Curry missed.

San Antonio comes home from a four-game road trip that finished with a comeback from 22 points down to beat Chicago 124-119. Victor Wembanyama has averaged 32.6 points, 11.4 rebounds and 4.5 blocks during the streak. Devin Vassell is questionable with an adductor injury.

Golden State has had success in this building. In November 2025, Curry scored 46 and then 49 in two wins in San Antonio, the second a 109-108 NBA Cup victory. Without him, the market makes the Spurs 86% favorites. Can Brandin Podziemski and a thinned Warriors rotation make that price look too confident?
