PHX vs GSW Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Phoenix Suns vs Golden State Warriors

PHX vs GSW Dream11: And they meet again! The two hottest teams all season long will play for the third time this season as COVID-19 continues to mock this world’s plans. Still, if Chris Paul, Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton, Stephen Curry, and Draymond Green are good to go, you are guaranteed to see some scintillating action.

Suns have won 26 out of their 31 games and have the best record in the league. Phoenix has one of the most intimidating backcourts of Paul and Booker, with Paul being the major playmaker and Booker as the major scorer, complementing each other beautifully. The Suns look like one of the title favorites with the ways things are going.

Warriors have two stellar players in Curry and Green active right now and they have the ability to dilute opponents on both ends. Steve Kerr’s defensive system has been tight and Golden State has done a wonderful job keeping the ante up.

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Similarities between Phoenix Suns and Golden State Warriors
Phoenix Suns and Golden State Warriors both have tremendous defensive units, both in the starting five and the bench. The Suns and Warriors are built to win more so because of defense than the offense. There are teams like Hornets and Spurs who can score on average more than these two teams but they are far behind because of the defense that the two teams have played all season long. While the Suns have two solid defensive wings in Bridges and Crowder, two fighting guards in Booker and Paul and Ayton is a terrific last-line-of-defense. The Warriors have a defensive anchor in Draymond Green who can push his teammates to be alert on defense.

Scoring-wise, Booker, and Curry are both adaptive scorers and can deploy multiple moves. With Poole and Wiggins out, the Warriors will need more out of Curry, which they have done so far. For the Suns, the guard quartet of Paul, Booker, Shamet, and Payne, presents both scoring and playmaking. Meanwhile, the three regular wings in Bridges, Crowder, and Johnson are two-way players. However, scoring-wise Deandre Ayton’s inside scoring helps in dispersing the defense. To counter such a threat, the Warriors will need Gary Payton II, Otto Porter Jr., Nemanja Bjelica, and Juan Toscano-Anderson to make some hay here.
