This line is completely stunning if we’re being honest. The Suns have been a mess all month and that includes blowing a double-digit lead Tuesday in the final minutes against the baby Trail Blazers. It’s going to be hard for the Suns to get off the canvas after such a collapse. Allen is also still questionable, which isn’t ideal as it takes another scorer away from a team that has limited go-to guys. The Warriors showed against the Clippers that it’s hard to kill champions and there was a lot to like in the victory. Yes, the Clippers Clippered, but Curry is back, Draymond is defending with a chip on his shoulder and Porzingis is contributing out of nowhere. Horford is back as well? It’s like everybody who was missing all year for the Warriors came together at the right time. Now you combine all of that championship mettle and face-off against a Suns team that’s been free falling for a while… I don’t believe you’ll need points here. Give me the Warriors ML… if you dare. I don’t see why the Suns are favored; but not to proud to take the +3.5.
