The Golden State Warriors don't appear to be taking their foot off the gas, despite their comfortable position at the top of the NBA standings. They host the Phoenix Suns tonight, and this is a team that looks as though it has already packed it in. It's not official yet, but the fact is that the Suns are not going to the playoffs, and should be just going through the motions.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Warriors Defense - While they get plenty of credit for their scoring prowess, nobody seems to be talking about their defense. They've won 13 straight at home, holding the opposition under 100 points in 11 of those 13 games.

2. Injuries - The Suns will not have the services of C Alex Len and PG Brandon Knight, and that's not going to help them improve on their recent offensive struggles.

3. X-Factor - The total has fallen short of the number in five of the last seven meetings in this series, and Phoenix has seen the total go under in 22 of it's last 30 overall.

Selection: This is a play on the Suns@Warriors to go UNDER the total (8*)
