Phoenix Suns at Golden State Warriors NBA betting tips

This is a fascinating game for us. The Suns are marked as 1.5 point betting favourites (odds, 1.93), yet it appears the modelling done by many of the tipping sites has the Warriors winning the game by between 4 and 10 points.

Nothing serious separates PHX (9th) and GSW (11th) in the Western Conference. 24-22 plays 24-23. The Suns have a 9-13 road record the Warriors are 14-12 at home. Suns are 7-3 L10, Warriors have recovered from a poor run and are now 5-5 on a W2 streak (PHX L1 streak)

In their last 5 games both are 3-2, but two of Phoenix's wins came against the Nets and the Wizards, which is basically printing wins. Warriors have had a much harder time on paper, and beat high fliers OKC by 7 points in their last home game.

Where the Suns do have a slight edge is injuries, right now the Suns are injury free, the Warriors will be without Draymond Green. Not much of an edge to be fair.

Our game tip is an easy one for us..

But seemingly not an easy one for Golden State, who got absolutely pummelled by Phoenix, in what can kindly be described as a lacklustre performance, cruelly described as a total shambles.

Our Player Prop bet tips fared better than our game tip, O'Neal laboured to 6 Points and 2 rebounds giving us an easy win, and The Pod had 14 + 3 + 3 for an other easy win for us. KD however let the side down, in a game where his team bossed it, and won by a country mile, his 19 points, some 7 shy of our minimum needed, was pants Kev. Pants.
