Why The Warriors Can Cover The Spread
The Warriors are absolutely rolling, as they have won nine of their last ten games. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green have the entire roster rolling, as they look like the team to beat once again out west. Klay Thompson and James Wiseman aren't even back yet, and they already rarely face a challenge. Tuesday should be one of those challenges though. The only team who can even claim to be on the Warriors' level right now is the Suns, who have not lost since Oct. 27. The Warriors still come into play as the better team on paper, as they have a league-best +13.6 net rating. Golden State also leads the NBA in defensive rating, allowing just 99.4 points per 100 possessions.
The Warriors are a ridiculous 15-4-1 against the spread this season, and they are 7-1 on the road outright. Golden State seems like a great bet right now any time you can catch them as the underdog.
Why The Suns Cover The Spread
Phoenix comes in on a wild 16-game win streak. If they want to make it 17, they will have to get through the best the NBA has to offer. The Suns sit third in both net rating and defensive rating, but are behind the top-ranked Warriors in each category. Chris Paul leads the NBA in assists per game with 10.1, controlling the Phoenix offense with precision like he has at various stops throughout his Hall of Fame career. Devin Booker continues to be the closer when needed, providing a potent three-level scoring punch. The Suns are a deep team that again this season has the right mix of veterans and youth. The Suns look primed to make another run towards the NBA Finals, but they might run into these Warriors again down the line if they want to do that.
Phoenix comes into play 11-9 against the spread. They are 8-2 at home, but will have their hands full when Golden State takes their floor.
Final Warriors-Suns Prediction & Pick
Take the Warriors and the points. Phoenix has to lose at some point, so why not to the team that no one else can beat. This game is going to be a huge measuring stick for each side, and will be the night cap of the TNT double-header on Tuesday. Take Curry and the Warriors to take care of business on Tuesday.
FINAL WARRIORS-SUNS PREDICTION & PICK: Warriors +2 (-108)
