San Antonio Spurs vs. Golden State Warriors starting lineups & depth chart - March 9th 2023-24 NBA season

The San Antonio Spurs vs. Golden State Warriors game on Saturday, March 9th, will see the two Western Conference teams match up for an exciting game. The Warriors currently sit in 10th place in the West, half a game behind the ninth-place LA Lakers. At the same time, the Spurs boast the worst record in the West, and have won just three of their last ten.

In the Spurs' latest game, the team dropped a narrow 131-129 loss to the Sacramento Kings, putting them on a two-game skid after a March 5th loss to Houston. On the flip side, the Warriors have won seven of their last ten, recently falling to the Chicago Bulls 125-122 on Thursday, March 7th.

With the Warriors eager to improve their standings in the Western Conference, the game is a must-win if they hope to pull themselves out of play-in contention.

The Spurs vs. Warriors game will notbaly seen Steph Curry and Victor Wembanyama both sidelined. While the expectation was that Victor Wembanyama and the Golden State Warriors' bigs would compete in a fierce battle, that is no longer the case.

Similarly, with Steph Curry sidelined, the Warriors will likely look to run things through Brandin Podziemski, who has continued to impress. Given that, Devin Vassell will likely have a tall order in his defensive assignment.

At the same time, in the case of the Spurs, with Victor Wembanyama out, Jeremy Sochan will likely handle most of the offensive load. Given that, expect the matchup between he and the Warriors bigs, such as Draymond Green, to be a fierce battle.
