Golden State Warriors vs Phoenix Suns Prediction: don't expect a productive match

Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on February 1. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Golden State

The Warriors are having a home stretch. The match with Phoenix will be the fifth consecutive game for the team in San Francisco. So far, this stage is going well for Golden State, and last week's win over Western Conference leader Oklahoma (116:109) is just the tip of the iceberg. Before that, the Warriors lost to the Los Angeles Lakers (108:118), but outplayed Chicago (131:106) and Utah (114:103), giving Steph Curry a rest against the Jazz.

Thus, the California team again passed 50% of wins - 24-23. The Golden State is in 11th place in the Western Conference, but now has an identical balance with top-10 Sacramento. The San Francisco team is only 3.0 wins behind the top-6, so if they continue to play like they did in their current home stretch, they could theoretically compete for a direct playoff place.

Phoenix

The team ended this stretch with a 113:121 loss to Minnesota, but before that they outplayed Washington (119:109) and the Los Angeles Clippers (111:109).

Phoenix has a total of 8 wins in 11 previous games, which is due, among other things, to a quality trade - Nick Richards for Josh Okogie to Charlotte. The Suns, however, are still only ninth in the Western Conference standings with a 24-22 balance, and if they lose at the Chase Center, they will switch places with Golden State.

Expert Betting Tips

The Golden State won 5 out of 8 previous matches, and Phoenix - 8 out of 11. In other words, both teams have the resources to win. However, both have a lot of problems. We believe that the upcoming match is a two-way game, and we won't try to predict the outcome. Let's take bets on performance, namely on the total under. Both Warriors and Suns are not always effective on offense, and also did not break the total in both face-to-face meetings this season.
