Golden State Warriors vs Phoenix Suns Prediction, Odds & Picks | 02.05.26

In a pivotal regular-season clash, the Golden State Warriors (27-24) face the Phoenix Suns (31-20) on February 5th, 2026, at 10:00 PM in the Mortgage Matchup Center, Phoenix. This contest features two Western Conference rivals navigating significant injury challenges, promising an intriguing battle of depth and resilience as both teams vie for crucial positioning.

The Warriors enter this matchup severely depleted, impacting their offensive rhythm and overall team cohesion. Rookie Brandin Podziemski has emerged as a bright spot, leading the team with 12.1 points per game and showcasing an impressive all-around game with 4.6 RPG, 3.6 APG, 1.1 SPG, and 0.2 BPG. Veteran Draymond Green remains the team’s defensive anchor and primary facilitator, orchestrating the offense with 5.2 assists and crashing the boards for 5.7 rebounds per game. However, their scoring depth is critically compromised, forcing role players into significantly expanded offensive roles against a formidable opponent.

The Suns, despite missing a key scorer, have seen others step up to fill the void. Dillon Brooks has taken on a significant offensive burden, averaging an impressive 20.9 points per game, complemented by 3.6 RPG, 1.8 APG, 1.1 SPG, and 0.2 BPG. Mark Williams provides a strong interior presence, leading the team with 8.1 rebounds per game, while Collin Gillespie efficiently facilitates the offense with 4.7 assists. Phoenix’s defensive intensity and ability to generate offense through secondary options will be crucial in this shorthanded affair against a Warriors team equally battling personnel issues.

Considering the catastrophic injury list for the Golden State Warriors, particularly the absence of Stephen and Seth Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Kristaps Porzingis, their offensive firepower is severely diminished. While the Suns are without Devin Booker, Dillon Brooks has stepped up significantly, and Phoenix retains more established depth. However, the sheer volume of key players out for Golden State will force a slower pace and a more defensive-minded approach, led by Draymond Green. The Suns, even without Booker, will likely struggle to create consistent offense against a highly motivated Warriors defense. Expect a grind-it-out affair where points are at a premium. The Warriors, despite their woes, often play hard and can keep games closer than expected against a potentially complacent Suns team missing their primary shot creator. Therefore, the smart play is Golden State Warriors +6.5 (Spread). With both teams missing their top offensive engines, the total points line of 217.5 is also likely too high. Our pick is the under.
