Warriors Seek Fifth Straight Win Against Suns
On November 2, Golden State hosts Phoenix at Chase Center, looking for a fifth consecutive win while the Suns try to snap a two-game skid.
Golden State enters Monday’s game at 4-3, ninth in the Western Conference, after winning four straight. Phoenix is 1-3 and 12th in the conference. The Warriors are listed as 4.5-point favorites, with the over-under set at 227.5 points.
The Suns won the teams’ first meeting this season, 131-122, on October 25. Devin Booker scored 43 points in that game. Golden State has since built its winning streak, including a 124-112 victory over the Clippers on Sunday.
Availability could shape the rematch. The Warriors’ listed absences include Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, both resting, along with Moses Moody, Kristaps Porzingis and Jimmy Butler III. Phoenix lists Mark Williams out with a shoulder injury. Golden State’s injury report was expected to be updated before the game, and the team could have players return.
The teams bring contrasting styles: Golden State leads the league in made shots from beyond the arc and completed passes per game, while Phoenix plays at one of the NBA’s slowest paces. The Suns will also have Oso Ighodaro available after he missed the previous meeting. Monday’s game is scheduled for 10 p.m. Eastern in San Francisco.
