Suns at Warriors picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 121, Suns 120

Moneyline

PASS.

The Warriors (-190) are tied with the Cleveland Cavaliers for the 4th-best home record this season at 28-7 and should beat the Suns, but Golden State is being slightly overvalued on the moneyline. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

BET SUNS +4.5 (-110).

Golden State was trailing by 8 points in the final 2 minutes vs. Milwaukee and was lucky to come away with the win. The Warriors should be due for a letdown Monday after pulling off such an improbable comeback.

Phoenix is 4-0 ATS in its last 4 games after allowing more than 125 points in its previous contest and 5-0-1 ATS in its last 6 after a loss. The Suns have won 4 straight games vs. the Warriors and should be able to bounce back after losing straight up as a favorite last time out.

Over/Under

BET OVER 236.5 (-108).

The Over is 4-0 in Phoenix’s last 4 games and 11-4 in the Suns’ last 15 on the road vs. teams with a home winning percentage above .600.

The Over has hit in 4 of the last 5 meetings between these teams and Monday’s matchup should be another high-scoring affair.

Phoenix Suns at Golden State Warriors odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Phoenix Suns at Golden State Warriors odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Phoenix Suns (61-14) put an eight-game winning streak on the line Wednesday when they visit the Golden State Warriors (48-28). Tip-off is 10 p.m. ET at Chase Center. Below, we look at the Suns vs. Warriors odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Suns, who have already clinched the NBA’s best record and home-court advantage throughout the postseason, have won eight straight games and 10 of their last 11. G Devin Booker was just named Western Conference Player of the Week and has averaged 30.9 points per game in the 10 games he has played since returning from being out with COVID-19.

The Warriors are struggling without G Stephen Curry and they have lost three games in a row and six of their last seven. They have fallen 13.5 games behind the Suns as the No. 3 seed and are only one game up on the fourth-place Dallas Mavericks with six games to go in the regular season.

Suns at Warriors odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 125, Warriors 113

Money line

PASS  on the money line. The Suns are rolling and the Warriors are struggling. The Suns have the NBA’s best road record at 30-6. And while the Warriors are 29-9 at home, they have dropped their last two home games.

The Suns’ backcourt is healthy while the Warriors are missing Curry. That gives the Suns a huge advantage, but the price doesn’t warrant a bet on the Suns unless you include a Phoenix win in a parlay bet.

PLAY: Free, daily sports pick’em contests. Play now!

Against the spread

The Suns are 23-13 ATS on the road this season. They have covered the spread in eight of their last 10 games. During their eight-game winning streak, they are winning by an average of 15.1 points.

The Warriors have failed to cover the spread in six of their last seven games. They are 20-16-2 ATS at home. They have lost their last three games by at least eight points and by an average of 15.7 per game.

Take the SUNS -4.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The Suns have scored an average of 129.4 points per game in their eight-game winning streak. They have also allowed 112 or more in seven of their last nine games.

The Warriors have been held under 100 points three times in their last seven games and they have allowed over 120 in their last three.

Take OVER 222.5 (-115).

Phoenix Suns at Golden State Warriors odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s Phoenix Suns at Golden State Warriors odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

For the second time this week, the two teams with the best records in the NBA play one another. The Phoenix Suns (19-3) face the Golden State Warriors (18-3) Friday night on the road after they faced one another in Phoenix Tuesday. Friday night, they tip off at 10 p.m. ET at Chase Center. Below, we look at the Suns vs. Warriors odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Suns have won a franchise-record 18 straight games coming into tonight. They beat the Warriors at home 104-96 Tuesday to tie the previous record and then stretched it to 18 Thursday night with a 114-103 home win over the Detroit Pistons. Their last loss was Oct. 27.

The Warriors have not played since the loss to Phoenix. In that game G Stephen Curry had his worst shooting night of the season, going 4-for-21 for only 12 points. G Jordan Poole hit six three-pointers and led the Warriors with 28 points in the loss.

Suns at Warriors odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 112, Suns 104

Money line

The Warriors have lost only once all season at home. They have not suffered consecutive losses yet this season. In fact, they won their next game after their two previous losses by an average of 19.5 points.

They are at home, rested and facing a shorthanded Suns team without their leading scorer as Devin Booker is out with a hamstring issue. Phoenix is also playing the second game of a back-to-back.

That said, you can’t bet more than three times your return on a regular-season game – PASS.

Against the spread

The Suns are 12-10 ATS this season and failed to cover the spread Thursday night in their win over the Pistons. They have covered the spread only once in four games coming off a back-to-back.

The Warriors are 15-5-1 ATS this season, 9-2-1 ATS at home. They are also 4-1-1 ATS when they have the rest advantage, which they do tonight.

Take the WARRIORS -6.5 (-120).

Over/Under

The Warriors are No. 1 in the NBA in defensive rating. The Suns are No. 2. Their game on Tuesday had a total of only 200 points.

Only two of the last 10 games for the Warriors have finished Over the projected total.

Six of the last eight games for the Suns have hit the Over.

But with two best defensive teams in the league and not a super-low projected total, take UNDER 217.5 (-108).

Phoenix Suns at Golden State Warriors odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Tuesday’s Phoenix Suns at Golden State Warriors NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Phoenix Suns (48-20) visit the Bay Area Tuesday for a 10 p.m. ET game with the host Golden State Warriors (36-33) at Chase Center. Below, we analyze the Suns-Warriors odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

Phoenix has alternated wins and losses over the last four games and went 2-2 against the spread. The latest outing was a 123-110 loss to a Los Angeles Lakers team without SF LeBron James Sunday.

The Suns are 1.5 games back of the first-place Utah Jazz for home-court advantage throughout the postseason and are trying to hold off the Los Angeles Clippers, who are 3 games back, for the Pacific Division crown.

Golden State upset the Utah Jazz 119-116 as a 2-point home underdog Monday. It was the Warriors’ third straight win and fifth win over the last six games while going 5-1 ATS.

The 8-seed Warriors sit a half-game in front of the Memphis Grizzlies and seeds 7-10 participate in the postseason play-in tournament with the seventh- and eighth-place teams getting two games to clinch a playoff berth.

The Suns are going for the season sweep of the Warriors after winning the first two games by 21 and 22 points.

Suns at Warriors: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Suns 113, Warriors 105

Money line (ML)

PASS because Phoenix is the right side but the Suns (-190) are a little out of my price range for an NBA regular-season favorite.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

“LEAN” to the SUNS -4.5 (-110) for a half unit because I prefer the total more than the side here, but Suns PG Chris Paul has done as good of a job as anyone at guarding Warriors PG Steph Curry and this is a bad spot for the Warriors.

Paul is outscoring Curry 21.5-21.2 points per game and outshooting him 48.4% to 46.7% from the field in their 31 career meetings.

If Paul can just minimize the damage Curry does in this game, I don’t think the Golden State role players can do enough to make up for Curry being less than brilliant.

Also, the Warriors are getting destroyed in divisional games. They’re 4-7 straight up and 3-8 ATS with a minus-9.8 average scoring margin and minus-5.8 ATS margin. They’re also terrible on the second of a back-to-back at 5-9 ATS with a minus-4.5 ATS margin.

Over/Under (O/U)

Since I figure both teams play with max motivation and there’s a playoff-life atmosphere in this game, GIMME the UNDER 229.5 (-110) for 1 unit.

The Suns held the Warriors to fewer than 100 points in each of their first two meetings this season and Golden State has a better defensive rating (fifth) than Phoenix (seventh).

Furthermore, there’s a few solid Golden State Under trends that are applicable in this spot.

The Warriors played to the Under in 10 of their last 12 games on no rest and five of the last six after their starting 5 combined for 160 minutes played the day prior.

Golden State could be a little winded after playing a hotly contested single-possession game Monday against the best in the West.
