GSW Just -3 for Game 3

Question

So GSW have smashed the line in their opening two matches. And before the conspiracy theorists starting screaming trap lets look at some ration opinion and facts below.

Spurs home/away splits have been monstrous this year, they're atrocious on the road but very good at home. If this was a regular season game sure you'd say Spurs win however this is the playoffs where everyone is playing 110% every night, as Pop said after game 1 that was the most stifling defense they've played against all year. There has obviously been a flick switched since the playoffs started for GSW.

Last year GSW went into San Antonio and cleaned them up twice for the sweep. Winning by 12 and 14 in SA.

Looking back at that series the offensive/defensive rating was 122.2-106.5 in GSWs favour.

In this currently series the offensive/defensive rating is currently 119.6-97.1 which so it's actually a far bigger differential than last year. So what's to stop GSW cleaning house again this year?

Sorry I forgot Kawhi got injured after game 1 last year and GSW obviously had Curry which explains things. However I still think with the net rating diff the way it is GSW likely cover.

GSW were -9 in Game 3 &amp; -11.5 in Game 4 last year. Is Curry worth 6-8.5 points? Would they have been -18 at home with Curry?

Curry worth 2 points no way gs would be -18.

Pound San Anotonio. They will shoot well and be energized on the defensive end with Home court.
