Warriors at Suns Props and Best Bets

Over 214.5 Points (-110)

The Warriors have been playing super fast lately, and that pushes me toward the over -- even with Stephen Curry out and Devin Booker doubtful.

Without Jimmy Butler since mid-January and sans Curry in two of the last four games, the Warriors have ramped up the speed, operating at the NBA's third-fastest pace over the past five games. That's a noticeable deviation from their season-long pace, which ranks just 14th.

The Suns' offense will likely welcome the fast pace. Phoenix is playing some good ball on offense despite being without Booker. Over the last 10 games, the Suns sit 10th in offensive rating. They've netted at least 126 points in two of their past three games.

Given the Warriors' pace and the Suns' offensive form, the over is the side I want to be on.

Will Richard Over 6.5 Points (-108)

Will Richard's role has been tough to nail down for most of the season, and even with the Warriors' key absences lately, the rookie's minutes have been all over the place. With that said, I'm willing to roll the dice on the over on his points prop.

Richard's minutes log over the last five games looks like this: 13, 15, 20, 28 and 24. The 28-minute game came in one of Curry's recent absences, but so did the 13-minute outing last time out. As I said, it's about impossible to confidently project what Richard's minutes will be.

That can work in our favor, though -- his volatile role makes it hard to handicap his lines, and he's plenty capable of scoring at least seven points.

Richard has totaled at least 10 points in two of his last five games. He's taken at least eight shots in three of those five contests, and he's a solid three-point shooter, hitting 35.4% of his treys this season.

Richard poured in 20 points against the Suns back on December 20th, and that came in 19 minutes in a game in which Curry played. I'm also interested in Richard to score 10-plus points at +230 odds.
