Why Should You Bet on the Suns?

Check the line on this one. If you can get 20 points, then you can think about taking the Suns. Other than that, there’s no reason to think about it. The Warriors don’t have any major injuries affecting their lineup, and the Suns just got toasted in Denver by 18 points. The same Denver Nuggets who are 11 games below .500. The Warriors already had their awful upset of the season when they fell to the Lakers in Los Angeles, so there’s no way to expect it would happen on their home floor.

Why Should You Put Your Money on Golden State?

The line on this game is likely to be fairly sizable. As a result, I might consider taking the “over” in this game instead of picking one of the two teams. Sure, the Warriors have the talent to win and win by a lot, but if the line is 12 or 15, and the Suns make a late run against the Warrior bench, you could end up losing. But the Suns don’t play defense, and a track-meet sort of game could end up on the over, even with the Warriors winning by 15 or more.

Expert Betting Pick and Final Score Prediction

I like the Warriors to run all over the Suns and make this a laugher. I’m picking Golden State, 130-113.
