The Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns meet in a battle of the top two teams in the Western Conference. The Suns are 6-point home favorites with the Warriors missing several rotation players due to Health & Safety Protocols (check out our game preview for it here!), but let's hit the prop market for some valuable bets from WynnBET Sportsbook.
3 Best Prop Bets for Warriors vs. Suns
- Chris Paul OVER 9.5 Assists (-105)
- Draymond Green OVER 7.5 Assists (-105)
- Kevon Looney UNDER 7.5 Points (-140)
Chris Paul OVER 9.5 Assists (-105)
The 'Point God' keeps chugging along, leading the league in assists with 9.9 and I like him to reach his season average on Saturday night.
The Suns are favored to win this one considerably and predictably Paul has been stronger in wins than losses, averaging over 10 dimes in victories this season. With Devin Booker back in the lineup I expect the Suns offense to be at full capacity and CP3 to be the conductor, likely reaching a double double.

Draymond Green OVER 7.5 Assists (-105)
This is another prop that is lined as a question of if Green will go over or under his season average of assists, which is at 7.4 on the year.
With the Warriors down Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins, among others, I expect the team to force the issue with Stephen Curry as a shot maker, leaving Green to be the primary distributor. While this number is factoring in that his teammates need to hit shots, the Warriors big man should have plenty of assist opportunities in Phoenix.

Kevon Looney UNDER 7.5 Points (-140)
Looney has gone under this number in eight of 12 games and combined for 7 points in two full games against Phoenix when these two met earlier in the year.
I know the price is steep to take the under, but I can see Looney being a non-factor yet again in this one considering the Suns will likely attack in the pick-and-roll with Paul and Booker, forcing Steve Kerr to deploy Green at center more often than usual.
