Golden State will be looking for their second road win in three days to advance to the playoffs as they play the Phoenix Suns. With Golden State taking the series 3-1 in the regular season.
Golden State had a 4th Quarter comeback against the Clippers in their first play in match. Steph Curry rolled back the years and dominated with 35pts, shooting 7-12 from 3pt range and 12-23 from the field. The supporting cast of Gui Santos & Kristaps Porzingis were vital as they both chipped in 20pts on efficient field goal percentage. Golden State had 20 turnovers Wednesday and this will be one area Steve Kerr is keen to fix for tonight’s game.
Phoenix lost 110-114 against Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday. Star player Devin Booker had an inefficient shooting night, shooting 7-17 from the field for 22pts. Jalen Green had a really impressive night, scoring 35pts. Phoenix only turned the ball over 13 times in their loss against Portland, so the main focus for them is to just execute better when they get open looks. This is something that they will get tonight as Golden State lack the athleticism and energy to prevent good looks for opposition teams. Devin Booker averaged 33.7pts against the Warriors this season and should be confident of another big night.
Betting Markets:
- Golden State Warriors ML (+120)/Phoenix Suns ML (-154)
- Golden State Warriors +2.5pts (-110)/Phoenix Suns -2.5pts (-110)
- Total points over 220.5 (-110)/Total points under 220.5 (-110)
Our Prediction:
It will take another Stephen Curry clinic to will Golden State into the playoffs. This Phoenix roster doesn’t have experience as a group of winning key matches in the post season, but I believe the overall neat and organised basketball will be enough. Especially when you compare the athletic ability of the two sides.
