Phoenix Suns
The Phoenix Suns have been in great form as they’ve won eight of their last 11 games overall, but they will be hoping to bounce back in this one after having their three-game win streak (the latest win against the Clippers) snapped by the Timberwolves in a 121-113 loss on Wednesday. Kevin Durant led the team with 33 points and seven assists, Devin Booker added 28 points with eight assists while Bradley Beal chipped in with 17 points and six assists off the bench. As a team, the Suns shot 50 percent from the field and 12 of 32 from the 3-point line as they kept the Timberwolves in check early and took the lead into halftime, only to get outscored by 66-54 in the second half as they had no answer for the Timberwolves’ duo of Julius Randle and Anthony Edwards who combined for 61 points.
Golden State Warriors
Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors are starting to turn things around as they’ve won three of their past four games overall and they will be eager to maintain that momentum after beating the Thunder in a 116-109 upset win on Wednesday. Andrew Wiggins led the team with 27 points on 10 of 17 shooting, Stephen Curry added 21 points with four assists while Kevon Looney chipped in with 18 points on five of seven shooting off the bench. As a team, the Warriors shot 49 percent from the field and 13 of 38 from the 3-point line as they struggled early and fell into an early 14-point deficit after scoring just 20 points in the first quarter, but they responded with 68 points in the second half to come away with one of their best wins of the season. The Warriors will meet the Magic, Jazz, Lakers, and Bulls next.

Warriors vs Suns Prediction
The Suns are coming into this one with a full roster, while the Warriors are still playing without the injured Jonathan Kuminga and Draymond Green. The Suns were one of the hottest teams in the league before they ran into the Timberwolves in their last outing, while the Warriors just took down the red-hot Thunder for their third win in four games. You can make an argument for either side here, but the Suns look like the more dangerous team at the moment, and I think they represent decent value as the underdog here.
