At the onset of the season, the Warriors and Suns were considered marginal playoff contenders at best. Phoenix has been fighting for the top seed in the West all season. While Golden State emerged late as a bona fide playoff contender. The Suns began the week 1.5-games out of the top spot in the West. And then Phoenix led Memphis by a half-game for the final playoff spot in the West. All of which makes for a compelling NBA betting matchup Tuesday night from Golden State. Gamblers have their choice to two contending clubs fighting for something.
