The Golden State Warriors travel to Phoenix on Friday night for the Western Conference Play-In Tournament’s 8th seed game, with the winner advancing to face the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round of the NBA Playoffs.

Golden State enters this matchup at 37-45 after grinding through a difficult regular season but found life in the Play-In opener, knocking off the Clippers 126-121 on Wednesday behind a vintage 35-point performance from Stephen Curry. Curry, who missed more than two months with a knee injury before returning on April 5, hit a clutch three in the final minute to break a tie and seal the win.

The Suns finished the regular season at 45-37, good for 7th in the West, but stumbled in their Play-In opener on Tuesday, blowing an 11-point lead in the final seven minutes to fall to the Trail Blazers, 114-110. That loss dropped Phoenix into this elimination game, marking a sharp turn for a team that entered the Play-In Tournament as the highest seed.

Below is a look into the latest odds, game info, and which player props are receiving the most action at Hard Rock Bet ahead of tip-off.
