The Warriors and Suns meet in Phoenix for the lone nationally televised game on Saturday night.
Phoenix is 10-8 on the season, but struggling in the past seven games with a 1-6 record. Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal are back from injury, but the team went 1-1 in the two games with both in the lineup. The trio of Durant, Beal, and Devin Booker each scored 20 points in one of those two games, so this team will get better as time passes.
For Golden State, the Warriors are 12-6 and lost three straight to the Spurs, Nets, and Thunder. Golden State is 7-3 on the road this season and has been led in scoring by Stephen Curry, Jonathan Kuminga, Andrew Wiggins, and Buddy Hield. One of those four players led the Warriors in scoring in all 20 games.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Steph Curry to go Over 24.5 Points against the Suns:
“Steph Curry is on the injury report with a knee that has him listed as questionable but he took part in shootaround, so we should expect him to suit up.
Curry last played on Monday, while the Warriors played the Thunder on Wednesday and lost 105-101 without him. Curry should be rested with four days off and the O/U 24.5 point line is a major discount if he looks healthy.
Curry scored 28 points in 29 minutes versus Brooklyn on Monday and has at least 23 points in seven of 11 games in November. With 30, 24, 16, and 27 points in four meetings with the Suns last year, I like Curry to go Over 24.5 Points up to 25.5.”
Here are the best bets our model is projecting for the Suns and the Warriors:
· Moneyline: NBC Sports finds confidence in taking Phoenix on the ML (-165)
· Spread: NBC Sports has low confidence in Phoenix -3.5 on the spread
· Total: NBC Sports has low confidence towards a play on the Total UNDER 232.5 points
