LiontipsPhoenix vs. Golden State. NBA Match Prediction and Bets
Command Analysis
Current form
The Suns started the season promisingly, but gradually began to lose ground. The team lost points, and with them, positions, so now it is ninth in the standings. Of course, such a result does not please anyone, so the head coach needs to rebuild tactics. These problems make each next game decisive for the Suns.
In the last meeting, Phoenix lost again at home to Brooklyn (117:127). No matter how hard Kevin Durant and Devin Booker tried, their individual actions did not save the team from defeat. A tough test awaits the Suns at home against Golden State, so you can imagine how important a victory is now for the hosts.
Disqualifications and injuries
Collin Gillespie will not play in the next game due to injury.
Interesting facts for betting
The Suns have won just one of their last five games.
Probable lineup: Beal - Durant, Nurkic - Jones, Booker.
Current form
The Warriors are in a slump, although they still hold third place in the Western Conference. The team has lost its last three games, losing to San Antonio (94-104), Brooklyn (120-128) and Oklahoma (101-105). Golden State problems are related to the lack of stability on defense and dependence on the individual game of Stephen Curry.
However, the team still has a lot of potential, and the away game against Phoenix will be a big test for them. The main thing for Stephen Curry and company now is to break the losing streak, although, given the motivation of the opponent, it will not be easy to do this on the road.
Disqualifications and injuries
De'Anton Melton will miss the next game due to injury.
Interesting facts for betting
The Warriors have won only twice in their last five head-to-head games.
Probable lineup: Kuminga - Wiggins, Green - Podzemski, Curry.
