Golden State Warriors vs San Antonio Spurs Predicted Starting Lineups and Depth Chart for March.30 | 2024-25 NBA Season

The Golden State Warriors must push hard this weekend against the San Antonio Spurs to keep their dwindling playoff hopes alive. With half a game separating three teams, the battle for the sixth and final automatic playoff spot is as fierce as ever.

The Warriors almost guaranteed a top-six seed as they were in control for much of the first half of March, going on an eight-game unbeaten run. But their stagnant offense cannot be swept under the carpet. Defeats to the Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat in Steph Curry's absence showed that he’s still papering over the cracks.

And now they could end the month, possibly the season, as the Play-In team. The Warriors and Clippers are tied at 42-31, but the Clippers edge them out by the slimmest of margins due to the tiebreaker.

Conversely, the Spurs enter the matchup in unusual territory. They are not only coming off just their third defeat, but they are also facing an opponent they have beaten only twice in their last eight attempts.

Injuries have not helped their cause, with Victor Wembanyama and De'Aaron Fox out for the remainder of the season. They are often forced to rely on Rookie of the Year candidate Stephon Castle, who is averaging 14.2 ppg, 3.3 RPG, and 3.7 APG this season. They sit 13th with a 31-42 record, five games behind the final play-in spot occupied by the Sacramento Kings.
