Golden State Warriors Betting Analysis
The Warriors enter play fresh off a 130-125 victory over the Kings. Golden State raced out to an 89-71 halftime lead, and withstood a late Sacramento charge to secure the win.
Steph Curry splashed 33 points, including 28 in the opening half, and has now eclipsed the 30-point mark in three straight outings. The 89 points were the third most in any half in franchise history, while they scored 50 points in a quarter for just third time as well.

Andrew Wiggins added 24 points, while Jordan Poole poured in 20. That made up for an off night from Klay Thompson, who finished with just 8 points after missing seven of 10 shots.
Golden State shot 52% from the floor and 42% from three, and have scored at least 123 points in three consecutive contests to start the season. They rank second in the NBA in points per outing, but their defense is preventing them from running away with games.
The Warriors have yielded 102.7 points per contest, the seventh most in the league. They’re allowing opponents to shoot 47.5% from the field, while committing the sixth most fouls and ranking dead last in blocks.

On the injury front, guard Donte DiVincenzo is out with a hamstring injury, while forward Andre Iguodala has yet to play due to a hip injury.
Phoenix Suns Betting Analysis
Phoenix is fresh off a victory themselves, blowing out the Clippers 112-95. LA, who along with the Warriors and Suns, is a top-six NBA championship odds contender, had no answer for Devin Booker who splashed 35 points.
Future Hall-of-Fame point guard Chris Paul became just the third player to reach 11,000 assists, and the first with 20,000 points and 11,000 dimes. Paul finished with 11 assists and eight rebounds, while Deandre Ayton chipped in 13 points and eight rebounds.

Phoenix shot 46% from the field and 36% from three, winning the rebounding, assist and turnover battle along the way. They limited the Clippers to 44% from the field and 28% from beyond the arc, keeping them below 100 points for the first time all season.
The Suns rank fourth in scoring defense, and have held two of three opponents to 105 points or less. The lone exception is Portland who reached 113 points, but they needed overtime to do so.
Warriors vs Suns Prediction
While the Golden State offense has been exceptional so far, Phoenix is one of the few teams in the league that can slow them down. Speaking of slowing things down, that’s exactly what the Suns will do when they have the ball. They rank 27th in pace, and will do everything in their power to avoid turning this game into a track meet.

When Phoenix does have the ball, they should have no problem attacking the Warriors. Golden State’s defense has been abysmal through three games, after it was one of their strengths a season ago.
The Suns were an NBA-best 32-9 at home last season, and we should expect them to hold serve on their home court as a short favorite.
Pick: Phoenix Suns -2.5 (-105)
