A clash between Western Conference powerhouses takes place tonight as the Golden State Warriors visit the Phoenix Suns. The Suns dominated the first meeting between these two, running away with a 29-point win. However, don’t expect the defending NBA champions to roll over quite so easily this time around. Let’s dive into our Warriors vs Suns Same Game Parlay, but make sure you check out our'NBA picks for all of tonight’s games after our experts went 9-1 last night.
Deandre Ayton to record 12+ rebounds (+230)
Tonight against the Warriors, Suns center Deandre Ayton will be the biggest man on the floor. He took full advantage of that fact the last time these teams faced off, collecting 14 rebounds in the process. It was his best rebounding performance of the season so far, with his 2nd-best effort being the 12 he managed against the Heat in his last game. With a seemingly favorable matchup here, he could be set to keep his good streak of collecting boards going.
Matchup-wise, the Warriors are likely to once again deploy a combination of Draymond Green and Kevon Looney. Both men give up a size advantage to Ayton. Neither possesses a jump shot potent enough to pull the Suns’ center out of the paint either. Overall, the Warriors are one of the weakest teams in the league on the glass, with a rebounding percentage of 48.1%. That puts them 28th in the NBA. They are also 25th in opponent offensive rebounds per game and can be punished in that area. Ayton has all of the physical tools and experience to take advantage of this tonight.
Andrew Wiggins 3+ made threes (+130)
Maybe rather unsurprisingly, the Warriors lead the NBA in 3-point attempts per game, letting them fly at will. The Phoenix Suns will be desperate to make sure that neither Stephen Curry nor Klay Thompson get into a rhythm from beyond the arc, as both of them have the ability to quickly turn that into a 50-point game performance. That will likely mean that the defensive talents of the likes of Mikal Bridges will be fully focused on slowing down the pair. That should help open up shooting opportunities for other Warriors players. This is where Andrew Wiggins steps in.
