Advice and prediction
As the Warriors have cruised to a league-best 18-2 record with a seven-game win streak, the Suns have quietly picked up right where they left off last season. The defending Western Conference Champions have built a 17-3 record with a red-hot 16 game winning streak.
While the streaks will make headlines, the Warriors and Suns have the stats to back up the two best records in basketball. The Warriors and Suns rank in the top three for points per game on offense and defensive ratings.
Although both teams mirror each other with an arsenal of firepower on both sides of the court, it’s hard to bet against Steph Curry right now. In seven games on the road, Curry is averaging 29.3 points per contest with a 3-point shooting percentage of 43.3%.
Behind their Most Valuable Player candidate, the Warriors are a league-best 15-4-1 against the spread this season. Over Golden State’s hot start to the season, the team is covering at a rate of 79%.
When the Warriors are getting points, it’s hard not to take advantage. Take the Warriors +3.5.
Prediction: Golden State 117, Phoenix 112
