On Tuesday, the Golden State Warriors will face the Phoenix Suns at the Footprint Center in a Western Conference matchup. Both teams have been incredible to watch this season, ensuring that this matchup will be a nail-biter.

The Warriors are coming off yet another spectacular win over the Los Angeles Clippers. The evening was made memorable by a Stephen Curry masterclass, as he scored 33 points and grabbed six steals to lead the Warriors to a 105-90 victory. If the squad is to beat a red-hot Phoenix team on Tuesday, he'll have to deliver a similar effort.

The Sun's team was ecstatic after extending their winning streak to sixteen games with another victory over the Brooklyn Nets. Devin Booker and Chris Paul combined for 52 points, leading the team to a 113-107 victory. If the squad wants to repeat its success from last season, the two will have to keep firing at a high level.

The backcourt will be shared by Steph Curry and Jordon Poole. The duo has been impressive thus far and looks to be one of the league's most dynamic backcourts. Kevon Looney will start at centre, while Andrew Wiggins and Draymond Green will remain in the frontcourt to offer the team some stability.
