Golden State enters off a dramatic 126–121 elimination win over the Clippers, powered by Stephen Curry’s 35-point performance, underscoring his continued ability to deliver in high-pressure moments. The Warriors have leaned heavily on Curry all season. He averaged 26.6 points per game despite missing time with an injury, and their path to victory depends on perimeter shooting and limiting turnovers, both of which they’ve struggled with (bottom tier in turnover rate). However, fatigue could be a factor, as Golden State is coming off multiple high-intensity play-in games with a shortened rotation.

Phoenix, meanwhile, enters after falling in the 7–8 play-in game and now faces elimination despite having the more rested roster. The Suns feature a star duo in Kevin Durant and Devin Booker and have historically fared well in this matchup, splitting recent meetings and holding a 1–2 record against Golden State this season.
