The trade deadline and injuries have the Warriors pretty thin for this matchup, particularly in the paint, where they've recently given up big games to Andre Drummond, Jaren Duren and Rudy Gobert. Williams averages 12.3 points per game and is coming off a 24-point performance vs. the Trail Blazers.
The Golden State Warriors will be without Stephen Curry yet again, and the Warriors' roster is utterly gutted for Thursday's matchup with the Phoenix Suns. Curry and Jimmy Butler are sidelined. Buddy Hield and Jonathan Kuminga were traded to Atlanta, and Trayce Jackson-Davis was dealt to Toronto. The Suns will be missing Devin Booker and potentially Jalen Green, but Phoenix's roster is far deeper, and it has home court advantage. Give me the Suns and the points.

The Golden State Warriors are nearing full strength for the first time since mid-season just as the NBA playoffs are set to begin.
Both Gary Payton II and Anrew Wiggins are returning to the team for another run at the NBA Finals. The Warriors finished their season in sixth place this year after a topsy turvy season that saw the defending champs put up an underwhelming 44-38 regular season record. This was mostly fueled by their awful road record (11-30).
Despite all this, the Warriors’ odds to win the NBA Finals have remained steady all season long with few bookmakers willing to write them off entirely, and as of Thursday, you could find them as low as +750 at some books.
The Warriors will begin their playoff push against the second No. 3 seed Sacramento Kings next week.
