Warriors at Suns picks and predictions
Prediction
Suns 113, Warriors 103
Moneyline
The Suns looked awful in their first game of the season, but now they get to play at home, where they went 26-19 between the regular season and playoffs last season. The Warriors were 16-27 on the road a season ago.
The Warriors lost their one road game this season by double digits (127-105 against the Lakers in Los Angeles in the season opener).
The odds heavily favor the Suns, so we will expect a Suns win, but the value bet is on the spread.
PASS.
Against the spread
The Warriors are 0-2 ATS to start the season, while the Suns are 0-1.
There isn't a good trend to give you confidence, either way. The Warriors were 10-12 ATS as road underdogs last season. The Suns were 12-13 ATS as home favorites, per Teamrankings.com.
But considering how badly the Suns played in their opener, they will come back and shoot better from the field.
BET SUNS -9.5 (-105).
Over/Under
The Under cashed in 4 of 5 meetings between these teams last season between the regular season and the play-in game. The Under is a combined 2-1 between the teams in the early part of the season.
BET UNDER 221.5 (-110).
Best prop bet
SUNS G COLLIN GILLESPIE OVER 2.5 3-POINTERS (+125)
Gillespie went 0-for-8 from 3 in Phoenix's opener. He made 3+ from distance in 47 regular-season games in 2025-26.
