The struggling Phoenix Suns (20-21, 6-14 away) will be looking to end their brutal six-game losing skid on Tuesday against a West rival in the Golden State Warriors (20-20, 17-4 home) at the Chase Center. The tip-off is scheduled for 10 PM ET on TNT. Read on for the Suns vs Warriors prediction.

The Suns fell by 14 points to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday and have won just one of their last 10 games, dropping below .500 in the process. The Dubs were also humbled on Saturday. The Orlando Magic beat them at home.

The Warriors are a 10-point favorite with whopping moneyline odds of -500. The Suns come back at +400, with numerous players missing.

Suns Couldn’t Be More Depleted

Things are certainly not going to plan for the Suns, who were considered a contender to come out of the Western Conference. While inconsistent play has been a big reason for their struggles, injuries continue to pile in.

Booker will not be in Tuesday’s NBA lineups due to a groin injury, but that’s not it. For Tuesday’s matchup, Chris Paul (hip), Cam Johnson (knee surgery rehab), and Cameron Payne (foot) are all sidelined. Deandre Ayton is also nursing an ankle sprain and could very well be unavailable, too. Lastly, Landry Shamet and Torrey Craig are questionable. In a nutshell, Phoenix is extremely shorthanded. Basically, it’s time for Mikal Bridges to step up in a big way.

*takes deep breath*

Deandre Ayton (left ankle sprain), Torrey Craig (right ankle sprain) and Landry Shamet (right hip soreness) have been added to the Suns' injury report and are all questionable.

Devin Booker, Chris Paul, Cam Payne, Jae Crowder and Cam Johnson all remain out.

The loss to Cleveland actually saw an unlikely leading catalyst as Duane Washington scored a team-high 25 points off the bench. The guard could definitely help Phoenix pull off a surprise victory here with another big performance. And if the Suns can shoot 54% from deep again as they did against the Cavs, perhaps the depleted rotation can give Golden State a run for its money.

Dubs Set For Curry Boost

While Golden State just fell to one of the worst teams in the Association, not all is lost. Steve Kerr’s squad gets a massive boost Tuesday as Stephen Curry is probable to return from a near-month absence due to a shoulder injury. The Warriors have actually managed to stay afloat without him, going 6-5 since he went on the shelf.

That being said, they will be hoping to end a two-game losing streak Tuesday. James Wiseman and Jonathan Kuminga are out, but the rest of the squad is ready to roll. On Saturday, Anthony Lamb dropped a team-high 26 points, while Jordan Poole added 21. Overall it was a forgettable night for the Dubs though, shooting a poor 31% from deep and getting absolutely dominated down low, with the Magic outscoring them 52-26 in the paint.

Stephen Curry is listed as probable for tomorrow’s game against the Suns, per Warriors. The Warriors were hopeful he’d return by this weekend.

That was just Golden State’s fourth defeat at home in 2022-23. 17 of their wins have come in front of the Dubs faithful and with the Suns roster looking anemic at the moment, Kerr’s group should be confident about snatching a victory in Curry’s return.

Suns vs Warriors Prediction

Whether Curry actually plays or not, which seems likely, this is an obvious pick. Phoenix has basically no one. Golden State should cruise in the Bay Area.

Pick: Warriors -10 (-110)
