The Golden State Warriors are in a precarious situation with three consecutive defeats. Now it’s their turn to host the Phoenix Suns at the Chase Center, after losing against them yesterday in a close 99-98 game. It will be interesting to see how the teams perform in consecutive games against the same opposition. However, the narrative will center on star players like Devin Booker and Steph Curry.

The Warriors have fallen to the ninth spot in the West with an underwhelming 13-15 record. The Dubs have also fallen below the .500 mark, which is an alarming sign for them and coach Steve Kerr. The Sun are not much ahead of them as they are also in only seventh position in the West and broke a two-game winning streak against the Warriors at home.

Are Devin Booker, Dillon Brooks playing tonight? Latest injury report on Suns

Devin Booker has been the main man for the Phoenix Suns for sometime and this season he has been putting up exceptional numbers to stamp that authority. The All-Star guard is available to feature against the Dubs on Saturday, and he is in good rhythm, especially after dropping a 25-point performance last night. Overall, he has been in great form, averaging more than 25 points and 6.5 assists per game while shooting 45.6% from the floor.

Similarly, Dillon Brooks has also been extremely important for the Suns this season. He brings that doggedness in defense couple with his superlative shooting from the three. He is available for the rematch against the Warriors on such a short turnaround time.

Brooks hammered the Warriors with a 24-point performance, which included his draining four out of seven attempted threes. However, he did put his team in jeopardy with a late technical foul, but they somehow managed to win. Overall, Brooks has averaged 21.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.4 steals per game this season.

Curry dropped a historic 48-point masterclass last Sunday in their defeat against the Portland Trail Blazers, where he dropped 12 three pointers, the most by any player in the NBA this season. He is up and running for Saturday’s rematch and will need another masterful performance to turn the tide in the Warriors’ favor.

Jimmy Butler is also available for Saturday’s home game as he suits up to aid Curry, who is expected to do the heavy lifting. The veteran forward has chipped in with decent performances this season, averaging 19.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game while boasting a 51.8% shooting metric from the floor.

He recorded 31 points against the Suns last night, albeit it came in a defeat, he will hope to put up similar numbers on Saturday again.
