We didn’t really expect to see the top of the Western Conference littered with the likes of Portland and Utah so far on this young season, but most people assume it’s only a matter of time before 4th place Phoenix and 11th place Golden State start making their climb up the standings. That starts on Wednesday night in the Warriors vs Suns meeting from the Footprint Center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s crazy that nearly a month into the season Golden State is still looking for their first road victory (0-7). One of those losses away from the Bay came on October 25th when the Suns absolutely dominated GS 134-105 when Phoenix was just a 1.5 favorite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since that previous loss to the Suns Golden State has posted a 5-game losing streak, but they’ve also won three of their last four coming into Wednesday night’s matchup. Most recently the Warriors throttle the Spurs 132-95 on Monday with Jordan Poole<\/strong> erupting for 36 points in 29 minutes<\/a>. Klay Thompson<\/strong> sat out that game as Golden State was playing on the back to back but he’s probable for Phoenix. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
