*10* SURE SHOT on Phoenix Suns.

The Golden State Warriors must feel pretty pleased with themselves as they could enjoy Thanksgiving with a perfect 16-0 record to look back on. It's only a matter of time before complacency starts to creep into the team though, and I like the Phoenix Suns chances of keeping this a close game and maybe even record an outright upset.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Situational - The Warriors keep on breaking records, and they come into this game off another blowout win. This should set them up for a let down against a more motivated Phoenix team.

2. Brandon Knight - The Suns' point guard had 29 points and 10 assists in the 120-114 loss against New Orleans two days ago and he's averaging 25.5 points over the past eight games. Knight and Eric Bledsoe has combined for 44.6 points per game this season, the third-highest scoring guard duo in the league and not that far behind the Warriors' Curry and Thompsons' 48.3.

3. X-Factor - The Warriors have covered the spread in just one of their last five visits to Phoenix.

Selection: This is a play on the Phoenix Suns (10*)
