Randy’s Pick

The Golden State Warriors continue to pile up the losses, and they're still without the heart and soul of their defense in Draymond Green. The Phoenix Suns have won 4 straight, and it feels like they're finally starting to figure things out. It's hard to back the Warriors with confidence given their current form. The line is more than reasonable, and you could argue the Suns should be bigger favorites. I'll gladly lay the bucket with the Suns at home.
