Stephen Curry to score 30+ points (+105)
Parlay odds: +772
Phoenix Suns ML (+160)
If there was a time for the Phoenix Suns to grab a statement win, it’s tonight against one of the best home teams in the NBA. Phoenix heads into Chase Center with optimism and leading the regular-season series 3-0, while the Suns have gone 4-1 ATS/SU in the last 5 head-to-head meetings. The Warriors ended a mini 3-game slide by barely beating a Milwaukee Bucks team without superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. Stephen Curry had to bail them out as he hit a couple of threes late in the game to force overtime and he finished with 36 points. There is some concerning news on the injury front, though. Andrew Wiggins and Gary Payton II remain out, while Andre Iguodala and Draymond Green are listed as probable. The Suns are still without Kevin Durant, but they still have a formidable team that can beat anyone. In their last visit to Chase Center they won by 12 points and I’m looking for them to sweep the regular season series with another win.

Devin Booker to score 30+ points (-140)
Whether it was the Suns trading for Kevin Durant or something else, Devin Booker is playing with a much bigger smile on his face these days. He’s been on a tear offensively, averaging 36 points per game over his last 5 outings, while shooting almost 60% from the field and 50% from 3-point land. Only once in those 5 games has he failed to clear the 30-point mark, and that was in the last game against the Kings, when he finished just 2 points shy. In his last 2 games against Golden State he has averaged 30.5 points and with KD out of the lineup the entire offensive gameplan should go through him. I’m not expecting all that much from Deandre Ayton, and the Warriors will most likely speed things up, which won’t suit the center’s style of play. Booker has been reliable in all aspects offensively and I expect him to step up against the defensively challenged Warriors.
Stephen Curry to score 30+ points (+105)
Since returning from injury Steph Curry has been nothing short of spectacular, but we’re used to that now. Steph has dropped an average of 33 points in his last 4 games while shooting over 50% from the field, over 48% from three and also making 94% of his free-throw attempts. You’d be hard-pressed to find a flaw in his game offensively at the moment and his 36 points and clutch baskets were the only reason the Warriors avoided a loss in their last game against the Bucks. Curry has cleared the 30-point mark twice in the last 4 meetings against the Suns and had a 50-point eruption at the Valleyin November. He’s playing in front of the home fans tonight and with no Mikal Bridges to worry about this time, he could be in line for another high-scoring game.
