GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS +7.5 - The Warriors have held their own in the head-to-head series with Seattle, going 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Golden State covered both meetings here in Seattle last season, including an outright 94-88 victory in their last visit, preceded by a narrow 3-point loss in the prior meeting in this building. Granted, the Warriors are just 4-17 S/U on the road this season. However, they have been at their best when visiting Pacific Division rivals, going 3-1-1 ATS in those games while losing by an average of 4.6 points, a margin that would be good enough to cover this spot. Seattle has not done a stellar job of protecting their home floor, as they are a modest 11-9 S/U and 10-10 ATS here this season, just narrowly outscoring their opponents by an average of 0.9 points per game!

Eugene,
Any fear of fatigue? Warriors seemed to be running out of steam in 4Q last night night's game, and had to play on the road and then fly to Seattle for tonight's game.
If Warriors had 1 day of rest I'd love this spot. Perhaps the back-to-back is why the line is a tad higher. Warriors may have some depth issues, of course with Van Exel out, and it looked like Cheaney may have rolled his ankle last night. Not sure on his status but effectiveness could be in question.
Just some food for thought. I'm holding out to see how far dog line will move.
