A lot of this will depend on whether Stephen Curry plays since he’s dealing with knee issues. If he’s in, though, his three-point shooting could be a huge factor, and some experts are suggesting a good bet on him to hit over 4.5 threes at even odds (+100) based on how he’s performed against Phoenix in the past. Both teams have great offenses, so it will probably be a high-scoring game. Based on all of that, the best bets look like the Suns to win and the total points to go over 232.5.
