Warriors vs Suns: Injury Updates and Game Predictions for Saturday’s NBA Clash

The Golden State Warriors and the Phoenix Suns are set to face off on Saturday, November 30, in a highly anticipated NBA matchup. Both teams are dealing with significant injury concerns that could impact the game’s outcome.

For the Warriors, Steph Curry is listed as questionable due to bilateral knee pain and patellofemoral pain, but Coach Steve Kerr expects him to play after missing the previous game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Andrew Wiggins, who is questionable with a right ankle impingement, is also expected to play after warming up before the game. Jonathan Kuminga and Gary Payton II, initially listed as probable, have been upgraded to available. However, De'Anthony Melton is out with a left ACL sprain, and Gui Santos is out due to a G League assignment.

The Phoenix Suns have their own set of injuries. Bradley Beal has been downgraded to questionable with left calf injury management, and Jusuf Nurkic is dealing with a right quadriceps contusion. Collin Gillespie is out with a right ankle fracture. Despite these injuries, key players Devin Booker and Kevin Durant are available for the game.

The Warriors are looking to break a three-game losing streak, and the presence of Curry and Wiggins will be crucial. Coach Kerr has indicated that Draymond Green will draw the primary defensive assignment against Kevin Durant, a former Warriors star.

The Suns, who are 2.5-point favorites on the spread, are coming off a loss to the Brooklyn Nets, which dropped them to 10-8 on the season. The over/under for the game is set at 233 total points.

Given the Warriors’ strong performance on the road, with a 63.5% cover rate since the start of last year, some analysts lean towards the Warriors to cover the spread and potentially secure an outright win).
