Golden State Warriors

While the Warriors almost lost to the Jazz because the Jazz shot lights out, Golden State did lose to the Nuggets because of the Warriors’ poor shooting and sloppy play.

Stephen Curry had another stand-out, thirty-point performance, taking the team on his back in the fourth quarter, but it wasn’t enough to overcome shaky shooting from the rest of the team.

The Dubs are now 0-3 ATS and 1-2 to the over/under.

Analysis

If there’s any team for the Dubs to face to help them get right, it’s the Phoenix Suns.

The Warriors have beaten the Suns in fifteen straight games, covering five of the last six contests with six of their last seven games going over the posted total.

Thirteen points are a lot to lay, particularly in a back-to-back situation, but the Dubs will be looking to bounce back after a loss.

The Suns don’t have enough offensive firepower to keep up with a Golden State squad looking to get the taste of that loss out of their mouths, and we lean toward the Warriors covering the 13 point spread.
