Bettors have 11 games to navigate on the NBA schedule if they choose to make plays on Saturday. I'm most interested in the matchup between the Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns. It's the fourth and final regular season matchup between these two teams, with the Suns having won three of those games. The Warriors won four of five games during their most recent road trip. The Warriors will face the Suns in primetime and are motivated to secure their first win against Phoenix this season, aiming to prove they remain a legitimate team in the Western Conference.
