The Dub Nation is not very happy with the slow start of the Golden State Warriors. Currently, they are ranked 10th in the Western Conference table standings with a record of 7 wins and 8 losses. However, their next matchup is against one of the finest teams in the Western Conference, the Phoenix Suns. This matchup is highly anticipated by the fans as well as the analysts.

The Dubs are coming off an intense victory over the Houston Rockets. And now they have an away game against the Suns, who are on a four-game victory run. So, fans are bound to witness an action-packed matchup. But who are the players who will be representing their franchise?

The players expected to play for the Suns and Dubs

The Warriors demonstrated their attacking brilliance in their most recent game against the Rockets, winning 121-116 at the Chase Center. Stephen Curry guided the way with 32 points, while Klay Thompson added 20 and Dario Saric contributed 18. The Warriors’ capacity to control the game from behind the three-point line, nailing a season-high 21 three-pointers, was critical to their triumph.

The Suns, on the other hand, come into this contest on a four-game winning run. And their most recent victory was against the Portland Trail Blazers annihilating them 120-107. Kevin Durant, especially, appears to be in a scoring frenzy averaging 33.2 points per game. The Suns, who have a 7-6 record this season, are a difficult opponent for the Warriors.
