The Golden State Warriors face the Phoenix Suns in a Pacific Division matchup at Mortgage Matchup Center, with both teams dealing with significant absences in their backcourts. The Warriors, coming off two straight losses and without Stephen Curry for the second consecutive game, have struggled on the road (10-15 away) and enter as underdogs. Phoenix, winners of four of their last six and boasting a 17-7 home record, aims to capitalize on Golden State’s depleted roster despite missing Devin Booker. This game could hinge on the Suns’ depth and three-point shooting (averaging 14.2 made threes per game, fifth in NBA) against the Warriors’ inconsistent defense (114.0 PPG allowed, 10th in league).

Key Player Matchups
Injuries force makeshift lineups, with Golden State relying on veterans like Draymond Green to anchor the defense against Phoenix’s efficient offense (113.8 PPG). Projected starters for Warriors: Pat Spencer (PG), De’Anthony Melton (SG), Andrew Wiggins (SF), Draymond Green (PF), Kevon Looney (C). For Suns: Collin Gillespie (PG), Grayson Allen (SG), Dillon Brooks (SF), Oso Ighodaro (PF), Mark Williams (C).
Collin Gillespie vs. Pat Spencer (Point Guards): Gillespie (career-high 30 points, 10 assists in last win) steps up without Booker, averaging efficient playmaking; Spencer (13 points in last start) faces a tough test in containing Phoenix’s tempo.
Draymond Green vs. Mark Williams (Forwards/Centers): Green (8.4 PPG, 5.7 RPG, 5.2 APG) provides defensive versatility and rebounding; Williams (12.3 PPG, 8.1 RPG) anchors Phoenix’s paint but may struggle against Green’s experience.
Grayson Allen vs. De’Anthony Melton (Shooting Guards): Allen (16.9 PPG, strong three-point threat at 6-11 in recent game) exploits mismatches; Melton (defensive specialist) aims to limit Phoenix’s perimeter scoring.
Other Notes: Without Curry and Booker, watch Dillon Brooks (20.9 PPG) vs. Andrew Wiggins in a wing battle; Oso Ighodaro could see expanded minutes inside.
