Phoenix at Golden State

The Phoenix Suns at 48-20 trail the Western Conference leader Utah by 1.5 games, so they still have a shot at being the #1 overall seed, and they have at least locked up that #2 spot. The Suns still have reason to play starters full minutes and try to win their way to the top seed. Golden State is locked into the play-in round as they will not finish in the top 6. It might certainly be the case that the starters' minutes will reduce going forward as they want to be rested going into the post-season. That may ring even truer tonight as the Warriors played last night. I like the incentive-laden Suns here, who is the better team to begin with. Make the play on Phoenix.
