The Golden State Warriors will be without Stephen Curry yet again, and the Warriors' roster is utterly gutted for Thursday's matchup with the Phoenix Suns. Curry and Jimmy Butler are sidelined. Buddy Hield and Jonathan Kuminga were traded to Atlanta, and Trayce Jackson-Davis was dealt to Toronto. The Suns will be missing Devin Booker and potentially Jalen Green, but Phoenix's roster is far deeper, and it has home court advantage. Give me the Suns and the points.

The Phoenix Suns are the talk of the NBA following the trade deadline. With new ownership and sky-high ambitions, the Suns acquired Kevin Durant from the Brooklyn Nets in a blockbuster deal. After a disappointing playoff upset at the hands of the Dallas Mavericks last year and a slow start to the year, it looked like the sun might be finally setting on this iteration of Phoenix. That’s all changed now, with most sportsbooks having them as the presumptive favorite to get out of the West. Following the 2022-23 All-Star break, the Suns had +400 odds of winning the NBA Finals.
Durant should integrate seamlessly alongside Chris Paul and Devin Booker in a mid-range-focused offense, and Deandre Ayton will have a chance to shine as a third or fourth option when this elite guard and wing combo gets it going.
