Golden State Warriors Prop Bet

The way how the Golden State Warriors have been playing as of late, they’re on pace to match or even break the 72-10 record of 1995-96 Chicago Bulls team. Obviously, it’s still too early to say whether or not they’ll be able do so but nonetheless, there’s no harm on cashing in on their chances of completing this remarkable feat.

Betting on the Golden State Warriors (16-0)

The Golden State Warriors just cemented themselves in the history books. They became the first-ever team in NBA history to start 16-0 after crushing Kobe Bryant and the struggling  Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night, 111-77. Stephen Curry was the star of the show once again, posting a team-high of 24 points and dished out nine assists. Now, the Warriors will try to extend their incredible run further to 17-straight games when they travel to Arizona and face the Phoenix Suns tonight.

[sc:NBA240banner ]The Warriors enter this matchup as the No.1 offensive team in the league with 114.3 points per game this season. Other than Curry playing a huge part to their scoring success, Draymond Green has been filling up the stat sheet as well. Green is averaging 12.7 PPG, 7.8 RPG and 6.6 APG while shooting 48.4 percent from the floor.

Furthermore, Klay Thompson is another player that the Suns need to be worried about. Thompson has had a so-so year thus far but can catch fire at almost any given time. He’s contributing 16.2 PPG through 15 games and has fared well opposite Phoenix throughout his career, averaging 17.7 PPG through 14 contests.

But the defending champions could have their work cut for them against a Suns squad that’s also known for its up-tempo offense led by Brandon Knight (21.9 PPG) and Eric Bledsoe (22.9 PPG). That said, the onus is on the entire Warriors defense to replicate their performance against the Lakers, during which they held them to a season-low of 77 points.

Golden State is 5-1-1 ATS on the road this year.

Betting on the Phoenix Suns (7-8)

The struggle has been very real for the Phoenix Suns. They’ve lost four of their previous five contests and are on a three-game losing streak. As a result, they’ve fallen to 7-8 on the season, good for second-place in the Pacific Division. The Suns will have another shot to stop the bleeding against the undefeated Golden State Warriors.

That’ll be easier said than done, though. The Suns are up against the defending champions and also the top-scoring team in the NBA right now. But they should be able to match well with the Warriors’ up-tempo offense through their dynamic backcourt of Brandon Knight and Eric Bledsoe, who are each averaging more than 20 points per game this year.

Apart from the two, Markieff Morris should give the Suns another reason to smile about. Morris, the 26-year-old power forward, has been superb over his last three outings. In that span, he’s tallying 17.6 PPG and 8.0 RPG.

However, offense is the last thing that they should worry about. The Suns’ defense (103.5 points allowed per game) needs to figure out how they can stop the Warrior’s most lethal weapon in Stephen Curry, who is posting an NBA-best 32.1 points per game and is shooting 43.1 percent from the three-point line.

Phoenix is 4-3 SU and ATS at home this season.
