We saw a couple shocking results in the first couple NBA play-in games in the Western Conference, leading us to a matchup between the Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns for the final playoff spot. The Dubs pulled off an upset on the road against the Los Angeles Clippers and hope to keep the positive momentum going into tonight. The Phoenix Suns, on the other hand, fell at home against the Portland Trail Blazers and will look to avoid the same fate on their home court.

Warriors vs Suns Over 219.5 (-110)
After dropping 35 on the Clippers, Stephen Curry is officially back in the fold and looking at his best. As such, expect this Warriors offense to hit its stride. He has faced off against this Suns team 3 times this season already, helping the Warriors score at least 118 in 2 of those contests. The hosts will have all of their offensive weapons available to them, too. Devin Booker, Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green are all more than capable of going off for a 30-piece. Against a Warriors team that finished 23rd in defensive rating over the last 10 regular season games, they should get every opportunity. These sides also finished the season in the top 5 in 3-pointers made per game, so expect fireworks from beyond the arc.
Draymond Green over 6.5 assists (-110)
With his running partner in Curry back in full swing, assists should be easier for Draymond Green to come by. He managed 9 in his last game against the Clippers and should be equally adept at sharing the ball here. Over his last 9 games, he has increased his assist numbers, averaging 6.9 per contest. Green tends to take on a larger playmaking role in important games, too. Just once in his career has he averaged more than 8 assists over a regular season. However, the forward has averaged more than 9 across 5 different postseasons. In a win or go home game, I expect Green to be trusted to pull the strings of the offense.
Brandin Podziemski under 6.5 rebounds (-135)
Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski managed to pull down 7 rebounds in his last outing against the Clippers, but I expect him to have trouble replicating that here — as that was the first game in 9 contests in which he was able to secure 7+ boards. The Suns have not been a favorable opponent for him in this category, either. Over 4 contests this season, he averaged just 2.5 per game against them, failing to surpass 3 in any of them. The Warriors will likely have their main bigs in Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford available to lead their rebounding charge, so they will need less from Podziemski on that front.
