Tough spot for the Golden State Warriors here as they are in the 2nd game of a back to back and the prior night was at Denver. Playing a road game against the Nuggets in the Mile High City tends to take a lot out of a team.
The Golden State Warriors are likely to be content to slow things down some Monday night versus the Phoenix Suns as the Warriors look to recover after battling the Nuggets in Denver. The series history in recent meetings between these teams has trended toward the over. However, situational aspects are always a factor.

Free Betting Pick: UNDER 228.5 in Golden State
The Golden State Warriors held the Phoenix Suns to an average of 99.8 points per game in their 4 meetings last season. With the Golden State Warriors playing their 3rd game in 4 nights they will want to pace themselves here.
