The game tips off at 2 p.m. PT and can be seen on ABC.
The Suns are riding a five-game winning streak, and their last four wins have come by an average of 20.25 points per game. The Warriors have won five of their last six games, but have four players in the health and safety protocol at a very inopportune time.
Warriors at Suns notable injuries:
Warriors: Andre Iguodala (right knee soreness) is questionable. Damion Lee (health and safety protocol), Moses Moody (health and safety protocol), Jordan Poole (health and safety protocol), Klay Thompson (Achilles injury recovery), Andrew Wiggins (health and safety protocol) and James Wiseman (right knee injury recovery) are out.
Suns: Frank Kaminsky (right knee stress reaction), Abdel Nader (right knee injury management) and Dario Saric (right ACL tear) are out.

Advice and prediction
The Warriors and Suns have played twice this season, with the home team winning and covering the spread in both games. Steph Curry powered the Warriors to a tight victory over the Grizzlies on Thursday with an epic 46-point performance – but the Suns have done well to limit Curry.
In their two games this season, Curry has been held to 12 and 23 points. He hasn’t had a 30-point game against the Suns since New Year’s Eve in 2018. With Poole, Wiggins, Lee and Moody out, almost all of the scoring load will fall upon Curry – and the Suns will likely overload him, forcing the Warriors’ other options to beat them. I don’t like those odds for Golden State. Take the Suns to cover.
Prediction: Suns 112, Warriors 103
