Warriors at Suns picks and predictions
Prediction
Suns 115, Warriors 109
Moneyline
The Warriors are 7-3 on the road but have lost 2 of their last 3 away from home, while the Suns are 6-4 at home, although they are 1-4 in their last 5 home games.
The return of Durant has led to 117 and 127 points.
While Golden State has scored 110 or more in 3 of their last 6 and 2 with 120, they also were held to 101 or fewer in 3 games.
Expect the Suns to bounce back from their last loss and to send the Warriors to a fourth consecutive defeat.
But the spread gives you a better value, so go with that.
PASS.
Against the spread
The Warriors have only 1 cover in their last 7 games.
The Warriors are 5-1 ATS as underdogs and the Suns are 3-7 ATS as favorites, but that is impacted by Durant and Beal being out so many games.
The Suns covered the spread in all 3 victories over the Warriors last season.
BET SUNS -2.5 (-110).
Over/Under
Only 1 of the Warriors’ last 6 games has surpassed the projected total for this matchup.
The Suns’ last 6 games have alternated going Over or Under tonight’s projected total. Their last game had 244 points.
BET UNDER 233.5 (-115).
