The Golden State Warriors will travel to Arizona to take on Western Conference rivals, the Phoenix Suns, on Saturday evening. This promises to be a fascinating matchup between two of the most loaded rosters in the NBA.
The Warriors are coming off a disappointing 2023-24 season, where they finished with an underwhelming 46-36 record and failed to qualify for the playoffs. Steve Kerr's team will be looking to bounce back this season and are off to a strong start (12-6).
The departure of Klay Thompson and Chris Paul in the offseason left a void in the Warriors backcourt, but sharpshooters Buddy Hield and De'Anthony Melton have done well to fit the gap.
The Suns entered the 2023-24 season with high expectations. The trio of Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal, and Devin Booker provided the Suns with one of the most potent offenses in the league. However, a 49-33 record and a first-round exit in the playoffs left more questions than answers.

The Suns (10-8) have won just three of their last 10 games. A calf injury sidelined Durant, but the former MVP is healthy for Saturday's game and eager to spark a turnaround.
