Why the Warriors can cover
Jordan Poole is a combo guard in the backcourt for Golden State. He can spot up or score off the dribble with regularity. The Michigan product attacks the basket well and can finish with either hand. He provides this team with a phenomenal scoring outlet off the bench. Poole logs 14.3 points and six assists per game. On Oct. 23, he finished with a season-high 24 points.
Guard Klay Thompson is an exceptional sharpshooter on the perimeter. Thompson owns a lighting quick release and uses his size to rise right above defenders. The five-time All-Star also plays solid defense due to his instincts and awareness of the game. The Washington State product is averaging 14 points, 3.3 rebounds and three assists per game.
Why the Suns can cover
Booker can score in bunches. He has a great jumper from mid-range with a superb post-game for a guard.

In his previous contest, he finished with 35 points, four assists and went 5-for-9 from 3-point range.
Center Deandre Ayton is a solid presence down low for this club. Ayton is fluid in the post with an array of moves that include hooks and post fadeaways.
