Suns shooting guard Bradley Beal has been out since mid-November due to a lower back strain, but he’s probable to play against the Warriors on Tuesday. Beal is averaging 17.3 points and 5.3 rebounds per game in 3 contests for Phoenix this season.
Phoenix forward Kevin Durant missed the club’s last game with an ankle sprain, and he’s officially listed as questionable for Tuesday’s clash with Golden State. Durant is third in the NBA in scoring this season with 31.0 points per game.

Warriors vs. Suns NBA Prediction:
This will be the second game of a three-game road trip for Golden State. The Warriors lost an overtime thriller 138-136 on Friday night, and they’ll be in Phoenix less than 96 hours later. They play the Clippers in L.A. on Thursday.
Golden State has been aggressively mediocre this year. The Warriors are 17th in average scoring margin, 15th in offensive efficiency, and 15th in defensive efficiency this season. They might not be the same team they were back when they were winning titles.
Phoenix will get Bradley Beal back for this game after he’s sat out a calendar month. Beal is one of the better scorers in the NBA and should give the Suns’ offense a much-needed boost. It’s worth monitoring the status of Phoenix forward Kevin Durant, as he’s listed as questionable for this contest. Durant was a limited participant in Monday’s practice, for what it’s worth. Kevin Durant is averaging 31 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 5.7 assists for the Suns this year, so his status could likely have a bearing on the outcome of this contest. But the Suns have beaten the Warriors 7 out of the last 10 times these two teams have played, so I’m laying the points with Phoenix at home on Tuesday night.
