The NBA regular season is just around the corner. The preseason hoops provided us with a glimpse of what the teams were looking like after making major offseason trades to beef up their roster. Since the warm-up fixtures are officially over, the matchups are going to get more intense as we enter the regular season in a few days.

The Golden State Warriors will take on the Phoenix Suns in a marquee matchup on Tuesday, October 24th. The game tips off at 10 p.m. ET at Chase Center and will be nationally broadcast on TNT. Both teams made significant changes to the roster in hopes of making a deep run to the playoffs. With the season opener on the horizon, let’s inspect each team’s head-to-head record.

Golden State Warriors vs. Phoenix Suns

After winning it all in the 2022 NBA Finals, the Dubs had a dismal last season, with their fewest wins (44) yet since the 2011-12 season. On the other hand, despite having the best-scoring duo, the Suns fell to the reigning champions, the Denver Nuggets, in the second round last season. The Warriors beefed up their already star-studded backcourt with the addition of Chris Paul to?improve their chances. The Suns brought in another 22.1 points per game scorer in Bradley Beal to form the best-scoring trio in the league with Kevin Durant and Devin Booker.

With a reshaped roster, both Western Conference teams are looking forward to competing for the title this season. However, before the season opener, let’s see how their previous encounters fared.

GSW and Suns have met each other for 80 games since 2004. The Golden State Warriors have had an upper hand in 43 of those games, with 40 wins in regular-season games. The Warriors have averaged 111.6 points per game, compared to the Suns’ 109.9 points per game.

However, during their last five h2h games, the Suns have won four of them. Going by the statistics, the Warriors have an edge over the Suns with more wins in their head-to-head games.

While both teams have stacked up in the offseason, they still have a few issues to address. After the Lakers proved to be too much for the undersized Warriors last season, their frontcourt still remains an issue this year.
