How to make Warriors vs. Suns picks

SportsLine's model has simulated Suns vs. Warriors 10,000 times and is going Over on the total (215.5 points). These teams have frequently engaged in high-scoring affairs when meeting in Phoenix as six of their last eight matchups in the Arizona capital have gone over. Additionally, few teams have eclipsed the total as often as Golden State, which has seen the Over post a 30-21 record this season, which is the third-highest over record in the NBA.

Meanwhile, each of the Suns' last three games have eclipsed the total, while two of the last three Warriors games have gone over. The total has dropped six points since first opening at 221.5, and that only favors the Over being hit. The model calls for 221 combined points going on the scoreboard, with the Over hitting 60% of the time.

It also says one side of the spread hits in well over 50% of simulations. You can head to SportsLine to see the model's NBA picks.
