Suns vs Warriors NBA Preview
Jimmy Butler over 19.5 points is my pick tonight. He has done this six times in seven games this year.
Butler is not on the injury report, and he doesn't have a bruised tailbone or any other recent issues he's dealt with.
He was just questionable for the first game of the season, but right now he's healthy and will be off two nights' rest, which we like for the older players in the league.
Butler actually has had a spot like this, and he did clear this point threshold the last time he had a couple of nights off leading up to the next game.
On top of that, the Suns allow the ninth-most free throw attempts per 100 possessions at 27 per 100 possessions.
We know what Butler is going to do when he gets free throws like that.
He's at 12 free throw attempts per 100 possessions right now, and he's shooting almost 50/90 (FG/FT percentages), which I don't think is sustainable for the Warriors forward.
Suns vs Warriors Prediction, Betting Analysis
Butler might end up with just eight field goal attempts, but could get over the line just on free throw volume alone.
Another noteworthy factor is that Dillon Brooks will not play for the Suns due to a right groin strain.
Not that he would have been guarding Butler the entire time, but I'm sure he would have taken a share of the responsibility.
Without Brooks, the Suns' defense has dropped off. It's in the bottom 10, which is not surprising right now.
This is a good matchup for Butler.
Pick: Jimmy Butler Over 19.5 points (-135, bet365)
