Phoenix Suns Form
Phoenix come into the season looking to challenge for the NBA crown after disappointing end to the 2022/23 season.
The Suns compiled a 45-37 regular season record to finish fourth in the Western Conference and book their place in the playoffs.
They made a losing start to the postseason as they lost Game 1 against the Los Angeles Clippers, but they rebounded emphatically to win the series 4-1.
Phoenix then dug themselves out of a whole in the conference semi-finals as they lost the first two games of the series with Denver.
The Suns hauled themselves level with back-to-back home wins, only to then lose the next two to exit the postseason.
Golden State Warriors Form
Golden State have their sights set on an NBA Championship after suffering a rough playoff exit last season.
The Warriors went 44-38 in the regular season to finish sixth in the Western Conference and earn a spot in the postseason.
They made a bad start to the playoffs though as they dropped back-to-back games in Sacramento, but they bounced back to force Game 7, which they won 120-100.
Golden State lost their series opener against the Los Angeles Lakers too, only to rebound and take the second meeting.
However, the Warriors then lost three of the next four as their bad road form condemned them to a 4-2 series defeat.
