Warriors at Suns picks and predictions
Prediction
Suns 117, Warriors 109
Moneyline
The Suns won the first meeting 134-105 Oct. 25 as 1.5-point home favorites. The Suns are 6-1 at home this season while the Warriors are 0-7 on the road, allowing an average of 123.4 points per game in those road games.
Opponents have reached 110 points at Footprint Center only once this season.
This is the Suns’ game to win, but with the small spread being the slightly better value, PASS on the moneyline and bet the spread.
Against the spread
The Suns are 5-2 ATS at home this season. The Warriors have only covered the spread once on the road this season.
Because the spread is only 2.5 points, the only way the Suns are winning but failing to cover the spread is by winning by two or fewer points. They only have one 2-point win this season — back on Oct. 19 in their opener.
BET SUNS -2.5 (-105).
Over/Under
Five of the Warriors’ 7 road games have had 227 or more points this season. They give up 123.4 points per game on the road.
The Suns scored 134 points in their first meeting and the total in that game 239 points.
Only 1 of the Suns’ last 7 games has had more than 226 points.
BET UNDER 227.5 (-112).
