GSW vs PHX Dream11: Fresh off dismantling the Houston Rockets on the Boxing Day, Golden State Warriors will look to maintain the momentum when they host Phoenix Suns in the NBA at Chase Centre, on Saturday morning.
That result in the last game came out of blues, for the Warriors are a distant memory of their former self, with the injuries to both Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, and couple with the departure of Kevin Durant in the off-season, making forcing Steve Kerr and his men into the transition period, Still, the Warriors brought the spirit of the champions and got the better of James Harden and Rockets 116-104 for only their 8th win of the current season.
Phoenix Suns also have had their fair share of injury issues this season, and it reflects on their inconsistency which has stretched for an elongated period of late. In fact, the Suns are on a seven-game losing run heading into this game, the worst streak in the Western Conference, and worse only than Atlanta Hawks who have lost 8 on the trot.
