Phoenix Suns vs Golden State Warriors Prediction
It looks like the Golden State Warriors are going to have Curry back, which is nice, but I have a hard time backing them with confidence. I've bashed the Suns all season and have little interest in them when they're 16-29-1 ATS on the season. However, the Suns have won seven of their last 10 games and this is the best they've looked all year. The Suns have also won seven of the last 10 games against the Warriors. The Warriors are still down Kuminga and Green, and we've seen too many times this season where Curry is the only one who shows up. I've had issues with both of these teams all season. I'll lean on the Suns on Friday because somebody has to win.
