The Phoenix Suns are the favorites to come out of their second-round series against Luka Doncic and the Mavs. For his part, however, Warriors star Draymond Green is taking the underdogs as his pick for what should be an epic showdown between two high-octane sides.

On a recent episode of The Draymond Green Show, the Warriors talisman revealed that he's predicting a win for the Suns in Game 1 on Monday night. However, after a lot of thought, Green decided to take Doncic and Co. as the winners of the series:

“This is a tough one for me to pick,” stated the Warriors vet. “It's a pick 'em. I feel like it's a coin flip. Both teams are really good. Do I have to pick one? If I have to pick one… I'mma pick the underdog. I'mma go with the Mavs.”

As Green said, this was not an easy pick to make. The Warriors star also has a lot of stock in this matchup with Green and Co. hoping to get the chance to face either the Suns or the Mavs in the Western Conference Finals. The Dubs can't get ahead of themselves just yet, though, as they still need to overcome what should be a tough challenge in the form of Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies in the second round.
