Suns at Warriors picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 118, Warriors 114

Moneyline

The Suns have won 7 of their last 10 road games and are 12-3 overall in their last 15 games. They are averaging 123.3 points per game over their last 10. They have scored 118 or more in 8 of their last 10.

They have beaten the Warriors in 7 of the last 8 meetings.

The Warriors' defense has gotten better recently. They average 117.9 points per game overall, which ranks 20th in the league, but have allowed 110.0 over their last 6 games and have kept opponents under 110 in 5 of those 6 games.

The Suns are healthy and should be too much for Golden State to keep up with, but with only a 1.5-point spread, you get better value betting the Suns there than on the moneyline.
