Phoenix Suns vs Golden State Warriors Prediction 11-30-24 NBA Picks

The Golden State Warriors and the Phoenix Suns collide at the Footprint Center on Saturday night. Here’s a Phoenix Suns vs Golden State Warriors Prediction. This article will include a Phoenix Suns vs Golden State Warriors Pick.

The Golden State Warriors have cooled off recently as they are now hoping to avoid a fourth straight defeat following their 105-101 loss to the Thunder on Wednesday. Jonathan Kuminga led the team with 19 points on eight of 21 shooting, Buddy Hield added 17 points off the bench while Andrew Wiggins chipped in with 16 points, five rebounds, and three assists. As a team, the Warriors shot just 35 percent from the field and 16 of 50 from the 3-point line as they showed plenty of fight to claw their way back from an early 19-point deficit, only to see the Thunder slip away with a pivotal 5-0 run late in the fourth quarter.

Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns have been in a real slump as they’ve lost six of their last seven games overall and they will be eager to bounce back after getting routed by the Nets in a 127-117 home loss on Wednesday. Devin Booker led the team with 31 points on eight of 18 shooting, Kevin Durant added 30 points with eight rebounds and three blocks while Bradley Beal chipped in with 17 points on eight of 14 shooting. As a team, the Suns shot 53 percent from the field and 12 of 31 from the 3-point line as they endured a hot start from the Suns and stayed within striking distance until they made their move in the third quarter where they kept the Suns quiet to build an 18-point lead.

Why the Golden State Warriors will win

• The Warriors have won eight of their last nine road games following a loss.
• The Suns have lost three of their last four games as home favorites following a loss.
• The Suns have failed to cover the spread in nine of their last 10 games as home favorites.
• The Warriors have covered the spread in eight of their last nine road games following a loss.

Total Points Facts

• Each of the last five games between the Warriors and Suns at Footprint Center has gone OVER the total points line.
• Each of the Warriors’ last four games against Western Conference opponents has gone UNDER the total points line.

The Warriors are keeping eyes on Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins who are both questionable for this one, while the Suns have listed both Bradley Beal and Jusuf Nurkic as questionable for this meeting. This is definitely a game where you want to check the lineups before tipoff given the injury cloud hanging over these two teams, but if I had to choose now, I am more comfortable going with the Warriors who have easily been the more consistent and reliable team, even without Curry in the lineup.
