Phoenix Suns vs Golden State Warriors 3/13/2023 Picks Predictions Previews
The Phoenix Suns will go against the Golden State Warriors in NBA action in Chase Center, CA, on Monday, March 13, 2023, at 10:00 PM ET.
From the end of December to the middle of January, Phoenix dropped 12 of its 14 games, but since then, it was among the league’s most reliable teams.
Prior to their defeat to Sacramento on Saturday, the Suns had a four-game winning streak to start March. They are now 16-6 in their previous 22 matches.
The anticipation for this game won’t be as high as it may be, however, as Kevin Durant is still out with an ankle injury from Wednesday’s pregame warmups.
The Suns entered this game shorthanded because Durant was only available for 3 matches before being shelved with another injury.
On Wednesday against Oklahoma City, Devin Booker filled in the gaps with 44 points as the Suns rolled to a 132-101 victory. But on Saturday, they lost to Sacramento 128-119, snapping a four-game unbeaten run.
The Kings’ bench scored 65 points on 20 of 33 shots as they went on a 13-4 run to close out the game. For the No. 3 spot in the Western Conference playoffs, they jumped Phoenix by 3.5 games.
Against Sacramento, Booker scored 28 points on 11 of 19 shots, and Deandre Ayton recorded a double-double with 22 points and 12 rebounds.
Chris Paul led an offense that is currently No. 19 in the NBA in shooting with 16 points and 16 assists (113.4). They are up against the 25th-ranked Golden State defense, which allows 117.6 points per game.
- The total went OVER in 4 of Phoenix’s last 5 matches.
- The Phoenix Suns are 4-1 SU in their last 5 matches.
- The Suns are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games with Golden State.

Phoenix Suns vs Golden State Warriors Predictions 3/13/2023
The Warriors enter this game with a 35-33 record because Golden State had trouble finding a consistent winning effort this season.
That’s clear from their recent run, which saw them lose four of their first five games in the middle of February before going on a five-game winning streak from the end of the month to the start of the current one.
With three road losses to the Lakers, Thunder, and Grizzlies—all by margins of at least eight points—their winning streak came to an abrupt end.
Golden State ended their losing streak against Milwaukee on Saturday night in a thrilling overtime game, 125-118.
In his first home match back after a protracted injury hiatus, Steph Curry scored a game-high 22 points in the fourth quarter and overtime to conclude with 36 points.
On the three-game road trip, which ended in a loss, Curry made his comeback and led the club in scoring in each game, including a 40-point performance against Oklahoma City.
On Saturday, he made a 3-pointer with 19 seconds left in regulation to tie the game and then stopped a layup attempt that might win it.
While Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) is doubtful, Golden State is without Andrew Wiggins (personal) and Gary Payton II (abdominal).
The Warriors are facing the No. 4-ranked Phoenix defense and have the second-best scoring average in the NBA (118.1).
- The total went UNDER in 7 of the Warriors’ last 10 matches.
- The Golden State Warriors are 6-3 SU in their last 9 matches.
- The total went OVER in 4 of Golden State’s last 5 matches against Phoenix.
