Warriors vs Suns Prediction
I said yesterday that the Warriors are one of the worst teams in the league, especially given their injuries, and it’s why we faded them last night against the Grizzlies. The rested Suns should have the edge at home. However, I’m not sure what the Suns have done to be this big of a favorite. The Suns aren’t exactly a gold standard of the league, and if anything, last night’s collapse should light a fire under a veteran Warriors squad. The Suns probably win, but give me the points with the Warriors.
