The Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns meet on Monday night in another big Western Conference showdown. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 PM PT in San Francisco and can be seen on ESPN and NBC Sports Bay Area.

Golden State bounced back in fine fashion Saturday night after snapping a three-game losing streak with a big win over the Milwaukee Bucks, 125-116. Meanwhile, Phoenix was riding well after winning four straight games, but had its streak snapped on Saturday in a 128-119 loss to the Sacramento Kings.

The Warriors are currently on a four game losing streak against the Suns and have lost all three games against them this season. Their previous games had a playoff-like atmosphere with plenty of drama between these two division rivals.

Tonight’s matchup was even more anticipated as it would have been the first meeting between the Warriors and this newest iteration of the Suns with the acquisition of superstar Kevin Durant. However, Durant sprained his ankle during pregame warmups last week and will miss another game at the Chase Center.

Durant’s absence saves Golden State once again as tonight’s injury report weighs heavily on their wing depth with Andrew Wiggins out and Jonathan Kuminga listed as questionable. Andre Iguodala and Draymond Green also appear on the injury report as probable as the team continues to battle through their various ailments.

The lack of perimeter defenders will continue to be a challenge for Golden State as they must try to slow down the dynamic Suns backcourt of Devin Booker and Chris Paul. Booker, specifically, is the Suns’ leading scorer and is averaging 27.7 points per game this season.

Fortunately for the Warriors, they will be playing at home where they have won seven in a row while posting a 104.7 defensive rating in those games (4th in the NBA) according to NBA.com. Golden State hopes to continue their strong home performances tonight as they prepare for another pivotal West showdown.

It should be a fun game. Enjoy basketball Dub Nation. GO WARRIORS!!!
