Warriors vs. Suns prediction: Wednesday's NBA odds, picks, best bets

The Phoenix Suns meet up with the Golden State Warriors at Footprint Center in Arizona for a crucial Pacific Division tilt Wednesday night.

As three-point underdogs in the season opener for both of these teams, the Suns rallied past the Warriors, 108-104, at Chase Center. Devin Booker scored 32 points in the win for Phoenix, which outscored Golden State, 28-18, in the fourth quarter.

Phoenix seeks a fifth straight victory after beating Portland Tuesday night, 120-107.

It marked the fourth consecutive game the Suns have cashed the over.

The Warriors snapped a six-game slide in Monday’s 121-116 home triumph over the Rockets.

However, Golden State failed to cover as seven-point favorites, marking the team’s fifth ATS loss in the past six games.

Steve Kerr’s squad has actually performed better away from the Bay Area this season by compiling a 5-2 road mark, which includes underdog victories at Sacramento and New Orleans.

Stephen Curry continues to light it up for the Warriors by averaging 30.3 points per game, while fellow Splash Brother Klay Thompson is coming off a season-high 20-point effort in Monday’s win over Houston.

The Suns have had issues closing out opponents this season with an NBA-worst minus-22 net rating in the fourth quarter. 

With Draymond Green still serving his suspension and Bradley Beal sidelined for at least the next three weeks, look for the Warriors to keep it close and cash against the Suns.
