Washington Wizards - Phoenix Suns

It could play for over minutes, it would be calmer, but usually within its played minutes it is particularly effective. OKC has strong defenders in defense and here one could expect a larger game on the penalty court and missed shots from defenders. Against favorable opponents, 8-10 balls were usually gathered.

The coefficient did not fall very badly because of the news that Curry will not play for the Warriors, so I take the OKC handicap, which should win tonight. I have already appeared once with OKC facing the leader of the Spurs team when I lost, but I think I will make a conclusion that it should not happen again. Without Curry, the Warriors will have a very difficult time creating against this elite defense, and also Melton will have a season-ending injury. By the way, the Warriors no longer look as elite and are playing a poor series. OKC will no longer miss the center as Hartenstein returned to the lineup and integrated well into the team. The Thunder simply have too many options and if they do not underestimate their opponent, they can easily win, especially since they have the motivation as they already lost in the first game. Plus, there is a chance to increase their lead for the first place in the West.

Two rival teams from the Western Conference meet. I give the advantage to the OKC team, who have demonstrated a fantastic defense this season. The Warriors' star player Curry will not play today, and his replacement, bench player Poole, will not be able to keep up with SGA's level. It is also uncertain if Kuminga, an important player who rises from the bench, will play. Without him, I can't imagine how the Warriors will score points against an elite defense.
