Phoenix Suns Preview
The Phoenix Suns are on their way to finishing with the best record in the NBA this season. They are currently comfortably at the top of the West with a 61-14 record and are looking to rack up more wins in the remaining seven games.
Devin Booker has been brilliant for them all season. However, his performances in Chris Paul's absence were special. He won appreciation from many in the league and made it into MVP conversations. The youngster certainly makes a strong case as his team has the best record in the NBA and the way he has been performing, Booker certainly deserves the recognition.
Having qualified for the playoffs, the Suns are currently preparing themselves to be stronger in the playoffs and go in there with extreme confidence. Despite all of that, they have not dropped the intensity of their game and will be hoping to grab yet another win in the matchup on Wednesday.
Phoenix Suns Predicted Lineup
G - Chris Paul, G - Devin Booker, F - Mikal Bridges, F - Jae Crowder, C - Deandre Ayton
Golden State Warriors Preview
The Warriors have struggled to find any sort of form and have also had a lot of problems on the defensive side of the floor. Steph Curry has been ruled out of the regular season and in his absence Jordan Poole has done an exceptional job, but despite his brilliance the team has not found success as other teams have exposed their defensive weaknesses.
This game is going to be crucial for the Warriors as the Dallas Mavericks are just one game behind them and could overtake them with a win in their next game. Draymond Green was rested for the game against the Grizzlies, but will hopefully return to the lineup and inspire the troops to get back to winning ways.
Going up against the Suns is certainly going to be a tough task for the Warriors, but they have defeated them twice this season and would love to grab another victory to claim the regular season series.
Golden State Warriors Predicted Lineup
G - Jordan Poole, G - Gary Payton II, F - Andrew Wiggins, F - Draymond Green, C - Kevon Looney

Devin Booker is in top form and could easily expose the Warriors defense, which is why the oddsmakers have given the Suns the higher odds in this game.
