Golden State Warriors vs Phoenix Suns (12-20-2025) game preview: When and where to watch, expected lineup, injury report, prediction, and more

The Golden State Warriors will now face the Phoenix Suns in an attempt to recover from a lacklustre effort in the closing minutes after suffering a devastating defeat on Thursday night. Expect a much more locked-in Warriors squad at home tonight due to a lack of execution and a subpar shooting performance by Curry.

In the end, poor execution was the reason for Thursday's defeat. Since athleticism appears to be what the Warriors are most lacking, they are apparently looking to add an athletic centre to the rotation. This usually causes problems when facing faster and more explosive opponents. It's more difficult to play offensively, and Golden State is unable to keep up.

Golden State Warriors vs Phoenix Suns - Game Prediction

Great teams are founded on having counters for opponents' counters, even though Stephen Curry, the sun of the Warriors' solar system, works. Despite keeping Phoenix to just 99 points, they lost because of thoughtless turnovers. The Warriors only scored six fast-break points compared to Phoenix's twenty-two, but the Suns had fifteen turnovers of their own. They are giving up threes in transition in addition to not performing well during the fast break.

The Warriors will welcome the Suns for a rematch at Chase Centre on Saturday in an attempt to exact revenge for their last-minute loss in Phoenix. After losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves, Portland Trail Blazers, and Suns, Stephen Curry is looking for his first victory since coming back into the lineup. Golden State (13-15) sits 2.5 games behind the seventh-place Suns (15-12) and in ninth place in the Western Conference.
