There should be a lot of points scored on Wednesday night as the Golden State Warriors host the Phoenix Suns. The Warriors and the Suns both score more than 109 points per game and they score even more against each other. Phoenix has averaged 120.3 points while Golden State has averaged 119.3 in their last three meetings against each other. Golden State has won the last two meetings against Phoenix in Oakland including a 129-114 win back on November 26th.
SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Warriors on the Road.
Phoenix is adjusting to not having Shawn Marion on the team as he was traded along with Marcus Banks to Miami for Shaquille O’Neal. Shaq is not expected to play on Wednesday. He should eventually provide support for Suns’ forward Amare Stoudemire who is already having an All-Star season. Stoudemire is averaging 28.5 points, 13.5 rebounds and 3.3 blocks over his last four games. He had 31 points and 13 rebounds in Phoenix's 108-107 win over Washington on Sunday. "Amare is really good," head coach Mike D'Antoni said. "He's blocking shots, he's running, he's shooting - and just his attitude. I can't say enough about him." Steve Nash has 11 double-doubles in his last 13 games against Golden State, averaging 17.8 points and 11.7 assists per game.
SBG Global Current Line: Warriors - 2 , Total 232.5
The Warriors have won four of five and eight of eleven. They defeated Washington in their last game on Monday coming back from a 23-point deficit to win 120-117. Stephen Jackson led the way with 41 points. "Unbelievable, a lot of guys wouldn't have even played," coach Don Nelson said about Jackson. "We said during the timeouts that we'd go to (him). He had the hot hand and we ran some stuff for him and he was the man." Jackson is averaging 30.5 points and 7 rebounds in his last two games against Phoenix.
