The Golden State Warriors go for their third straight win tonight when they host Western Conference rivals the Phoenix Suns.
Following a 1-2 start to the season the Warriors regained Nick Van Exel and Jason Richardson to the line-up. In the two games since they have routed the Atlanta Hawks and beaten a Utah Jazz line-up that was missing Matt Harpring.
The Suns struggled on the boards in their first four games and at -7.5 had the worst rebounding differential in the league. The addition of the 6-foot-9, 290-pound Jahidi White gives them a much better chance of winning the battle of the boards. In his first appearance for Phoenix he shot 6-for-7 from the field for 13 points and pulled down five rebounds. The Suns dominated the Grizzlies on the glass by a 47-30 margin and it was an even offensive performance with all five starters in double figures.
Phoenix has won seven of the last nine contests between these teams and we'll go with them tonight to get their first road win of the season.
Play: Phoenix -1.5
