If the Suns were to defeat the Golden State Warriors after defeating the LA Clippers and Dallas Mavericks, some of the hype around the team would likely rejuvenate a bit. Phoenix didn't live up to their end of the bargain when they failed to reach the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, but they get to meet again in the 2022-23 regular season. The much-awaited matchup between the Golden State Warriors and the Phoenix Suns is finally here.

As Luka Doncic buried Phoenix alive and rolled on to the Western Conference Finals, the Golden State Warriors were benevolent in two ways. [Golden State Warriors](https://www.goldenstateofmind.com/) at Phoenix Suns Suns are the team to beat. That’s right folks, in 2020 there was the Lakers and in 2021 there was the Suns... The Suns blew a 2-0 lead in their first Finals trip since Charles Barkley was their best player, then came out blazing hot last season to become the West’s #1 seed. [Golden State Warriors](https://www.goldenstateofmind.com) started off their season raising a fresh new banner and winning two out of three games at home in Chase Center.

Wiggins tapped into a different being over the playoffs last season, and especially in the NBA Finals. In that six-game series with the Boston Celtics, Wiggins ...

"You saw the extra pass that he made last night to Steph [Curry] for the three. In the first three games of last season, he put up 15.3 points. Over the first three games of the 2020-21 season, his first full season with the Warriors, Wiggins averaged 14.7 points. "I don't think he's ever looked more confident, not only in his own game but with what we're doing and how we play," Kerr said. Wiggins tapped into a different being over the playoffs last season, and especially in the NBA Finals. While it has only been three games, Wiggins is averaging 22.3 points on a 52.0 field goal percentage and 38.1 3-point percentage.

Andrew Wiggins is playing the best basketball Steve Kerr has ever seen out of the Warriors' All-Star forward.

Three questions entering Phoenix's showdown against the defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors at Footprint Center.

Paul is still doing everything else well as he’s second in the league in assists at 10.7 a game. Looking forward to seeing how the Warriors defend him when he's without the ball, which is happening more now. [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) or contact him at 480-787-1240. He scored 22 on 11-of-19 shooting. He may have the biggest night of them all. If he’s still struggling to make 3s a month from now, will opponents force the action so that Paul is left to shoot the ball? The 1-of-8 night is most of that, but still, wow. It’s been an adjustment, but Paul has said he looked forward to playing off the ball. The Suns veteran point guard is coming off a 1-of-8 effort from deep in Sunday’s win over the Clippers in Los Angeles. Paul last took eight in a game last season as he made three in a win at Brooklyn to cap a 4-0 road trip in November 2021. He was getting to his midrange and had the ball. The most he’s ever attempted in a game is 12 back in 2018-19 season with the Rockets, who were all about launching 3s under Mike D’Antoni.

Andrew Wiggins is averaging 22.3 points and making big contributions on defense through the Warriors' first three games.

“This will be really good work for rhythm for the next three days and then we imagine they’ll play a lot of minutes in Santa Cruz this year because of our roster situation and how many vets we have and how much they need to play.” He checked in for about a minute in the fourth quarter of the Warriors’ win Sunday, but was replaced after the Kings scored five quick points. “In practices and scrimmages, he had a nice pace to his game, shoots the ball really well and creates buckets.” 44 overall, has appeared in two NBA games after making his debut in the season opener Tuesday. After missing all of last season with a pesky knee injury, Wiseman’s confidence has continued to grow over the last few weeks. That’s a better start than a year ago, when he averaged 15.3 points, 5,7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in the first week of the 2021-22 campaign. The Warriors sent Patrick Baldwin Jr. “This is the best I’ve ever seen Wiggins,” Kerr said Monday. “Wiseman has been really good,” Kerr said. “They need the work, they need to play in every environment, they need to feel all the patterns at both ends of the floor, they need the competition,” Kerr said. He’ll be reevaluated next week, coach Steve Kerr said. “It’s easy to see where he fits into the team, what his role is, he’s really catching on to what we’re trying to accomplish on both ends, he’s still got a lot of work to do but we’re really happy with his development.”

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr had nothing but high praise for Andrew Wiggins amid his strong start to the season.

The new deal came out to a whopping $109 million for four years, and at this point, there’s no denying that he’s already living up to his new contract. “This is the best I’ve ever seen Wiggins,” Kerr said Monday. Even head coach Steve Kerr had nothing but high praise for the All-Star forward as he talked up Wiggins’ contributions to the team early on.

Five months later than many expected, the last two Western Conference champions will duel in the desert when the Golden State Warriors visit the Phoenix ...

Stephen Curry had 28 points in the half. A month later, the Suns were no longer standing, and some after-effects remain visible. Phoenix went on the road and blasted the Los Angeles Clippers 112-95 on Sunday. But it certainly will motivate you to work on the things you need to work on." He's averaged 19.0 points and 8.0 rebounds while also anchoring a defense that has allowed opponents just 104.3 points per game. Then, with the Suns watching on television, the Warriors dispatched of the Mavericks in five games and the Boston Celtics in six to capture their fourth title in the last eight years.

According to BetMGM, the favorite to win this game are the Phoenix Suns with -139 odds, while the Golden State Warriors have +115 odds to win it. The Oddsmakers in the US have set their predictions for this NBA regular-season game. [Phoenix Suns](https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-deandre-ayton-hints-at-possible-beef-inside-the-phoenix-suns-locker-room-20220927-0033.html) will host the [Golden State Warriors](https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/nba-star-klay-thompson-explains-how-pep-guardiolas-barcelona-inspired-the-warriors-20221019-0019.html) at the Footprint Center for the [2022-2023 NBA regular season](https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-carmelo-anthony-and-free-agent-shooters-the-lakers-need-to-sign-20221021-0013.html). As Western Conference rivals, the games are expected to be tough. In fact, Devin Booker has surprised everyone by pulling up more than 25 points in the first three regular-season games. Even so, Stephen Curry got three 30+ points games to earn a fantastic start 14th NBA Season.

In a potential Western Conference Finals preview, our betting expert shares his prediction that the Suns to cover is your best bet on Tuesday.

However, Phoenix already appears to have that area covered on the defensive end, as their opponents are shooting just 34% from behind the arc and only scoring an average of 33 points per game from three pointers, both which rank within the top 12 in the NBA. Golden State would end up losing to the Nuggets despite scoring 123 points, and that is because the defense simply hasn’t been able to hold its ground very often. Phoenix ended last season with a Defensive Rating of 106.8, which ranked third in the NBA and just behind the Warriors. That is largely due to their defensive presence in the paint. However, Phoenix has played an entirely different brand of basketball up to this point, ranking 27th in Pace (96.81). Golden State ended last year with a Defensive Rating of 106.6, ranking second in the NBA behind only the Celtics. The Warriors are getting up and down the floor at an historic rate, which has allowed them to generate an average of 110.33 possessions per game through their first three games. Phoenix and Golden State have both since gotten back on track with wins, and for the most part will both be at full-strength in what could be a preview of the Western Conference Finals. As I mentioned earlier, the Warriors enter this matchup ranking first in the NBA in Pace (110.33). Both Golden State and Phoenix enter this matchup with a record of 2-1. The Suns are a team that bring a new dimension to the game that the Warriors have not seen yet, and I expect them to slow this game down and hold the Golden State offense in check while taking advantage of their shaky defense. [Warriors](https://www.actionnetwork.com/nba/odds/golden-state-warriors) will travel to Phoenix in their first road game of the season to take on the [Suns](https://www.actionnetwork.com/nba/odds/phoenix-suns) on Tuesday night.

PHOENIX — The NBA's 2021-22 regular season had its two best teams on a collision course. The Phoenix Suns and Golden State Warriors were the cream of the ...

Behind Poole, he’s playing the second-most minutes off the bench and is a trustworthy option for Steve Kerr in the big rotation. I don’t think there’s any team in the league that wouldn’t want to have a JaMychal Green on their squad.” Wiseman is going to be setting ball screens for the likes of Stephen Curry and Jordan Poole, so he will find space. “Wiseman’s big and athletic, so he poses a different challenge for your defense, especially in the second unit.” He played in 39 games as a rookie two seasons ago before not playing for over 18 months because of a knee injury. DiVincenzo was a signing on the taxpayer mid-level exception, one the Suns haven’t used yet, and veteran forward JaMychal Green joined after getting bought out by Oklahoma City.

As such, it isn't surprising that teams from around the league would jump at the opportunity to have the Los Angeles Lakers icon be part of their ownership ...

[Club Shay Shay](https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=Wjt6ZJVYQMo&feature=emb_logo) podcast, Johnson revealed that he’s actually had a handful of opportunities to take on an ownership role with teams from around the league. As such, it isn’t surprising that teams from around the league would jump at the opportunity to have the Los Angeles Lakers icon be part of their ownership group. Magic Johnson is without a doubt one of the most esteemed and well-respected NBA legends today.

Far away from the Lakers at the bottom of the Western Conference are the Suns and Warriors, two teams that will battle out in primetime on Tuesday.

His over/under of 16.5 feels better, especially because he cleared that total in two of the three games he played against Phoenix last year, too. Last season, he scored 33 points in the Christmas Day meeting between the two teams but scored 35 total points in the next two games against the Suns. [the Suns enter the game as -2.5 favorites](https://dksb.sng.link/As9kz/0wps?_dl=https%3A%2F%2Fsportsbook.draftkings.com%2Fgateway%3Fs%3D347134020%26wpcid%3D229989%26wpcn%3DInarticle%26wpsrc%3DVox%26wpscn%3DNBA%26wpcrid%3DInarticle&pcid=229989&psn=Vox&pcn=Inarticle&pcrid=Inarticle&pscn=NBA) with the game being in Phoenix and have a -140 moneyline compared to the Warriors +120 odds. Phoenix trailed the Mavericks by a billion points and looked like a broken team before rallying in that game. You can follow Jacob on Twitter at [@JacobRude](https://twitter.com/JacobRude). He has scored 33, 34 and 33 points, respectively, in the first three games. And while we can’t continue to ride Anthony Davis’ strong season in our bets this week, there is still plenty of intriguing bets that can be made. 1 seed Suns meet for the first of four times. The defending champions Warriors and last season’s No. Golden State outlasted a late Lakers rally to open the season, fell to the Nuggets and beat the Kings.
