Analysis
The Warriors are coming into this game with a 37-45 record this season. They have been awful in their recent games as they have lost 3 of their last 4 as well as 7 of their last 9 games and they have struggled a lot in the 2nd half of the season. They got up when they need to though and now they are coming off of a 126-121 win on the road against the Clippers which ended their playoff hopes. The Warriors have been awful on the road this season, but they have also been missing key pieces in the lineup recently. They have been getting healthier though and they still have a lot of experienced veterans on the team who know how to play in these games. They are going up against a Suns team that is 45-37 this season and they have not been playing well in recent games. They have lost 2 of their last 3 as well as 3 of their last 5 games and they have struggled a lot in the 2nd half of the season as well. Their offense has not been great in their last 5 games either and that is going to be a problem here as the Warriors will turn up the effort on the defensive end. The Suns have been much better at home this season at 25-16, but they have still lost 2 of their last 3 games there and that home advantage did not help them in the play-in tournament as they had a late lead against the Trail Blazers and still fell apart in the dying mins at home. The Suns have also struggled with the Warriors all season and the Warriors are not going to go down without a fight here. The Warriors will cover the spread in this game.
