Phoenix Suns vs Golden State Warriors: NBA All-Star Break Showdown

Introduction

The NBA takes a break for the All-Star break next week, and for the Phoenix Suns and Golden State Warriors, who meet tonight at the Chase Center (8:30 pm ET, ABC), the break may be an interruption to the good vibes both teams have going right now.

Recent Performance

The Suns (31-21, 15-10 away, 21-29-2 ATS) are 5-1 in their last six games and sit fifth in the Western Conference standings, two games ahead of the eighth-place Dallas Mavericks. Phoenix has owned Golden State (24-25, 13-13 home, 24-23-2 ATS) over the last two years, winning seven of the last eight head-to-head meetings, including the first three this season. The Suns are favored to finish off the regular season sweep tonight, but they will have to cool off a hot team to do so. The Warriors currently sit 11th in the West, two games behind the tenth-place Utah Jazz. But, like the Suns, the Dubs have five wins in their last six homes and are on one of their best runs of the season with four games remaining before the All-Star break.

• Memphis Grizzlies (2/2 – away): Won 121-101

Prediction

Based on their recent play, the Warriors certainly merit some consideration. This evening’s game marks Golden State’s return home after a 4-1 road trip that saw them lose only to the Hawks in OT and defeat the Grizzlies, Nets, 76ers, and Pacers. Will their hot streak continue back at the Chase Center? On the other side, the Suns have been dominant against the Warriors in recent years and are favored to finish off the regular season sweep. However, the Warriors have been performing well at home and can't be written off. Considering the Warriors' struggles against teams with winning records, the Suns are predicted to win and cover the spread.
