(Basketball News) - The playoff-bound Phoenix Suns will hit the road this evening when they pay a visit to the Golden State Warriors at ORACLE Arena.

The Pacific Division-champion Suns have won three of their last four games, including Monday’s 105-87 pummeling of the Memphis Grizzlies at US Airways Center.

Raja Bell had 29 points and Amare Stoudemire added 27 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Suns, who will try to build on their 24-10 road record tonight. Leandro Barbosa tallied 12 points and Steve Nash ended with 11 points and nine assists in Monday’s win.

Phoenix is 6 1/2 games behind the Dallas Mavericks for the top spot in the Western Conference.

The Warriors, meanwhile, are fighting for their playoff lives and have dropped two straight and three of the last four games.

In Monday’s 126-89 rout by the San Antonio Spurs in the opener of a three-game homestand, Baron Davis and Monta Ellis scored 17 points apiece for the Warriors, who are 1 1/2 games behind the Los Angeles Clippers for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.

Mickael Pietrus added 10 points and eight rebounds for Golden State.

The Warriors will also host Memphis on the stand and are 25-11 at ORACLE Arena this season.

Wednesday’s game between Phoenix and Golden State is the fourth and final meeting of the regular season. The Suns are 3-0 so far in the series and have won six of the last seven meetings.

Phoenix has won two of three and three of its last five at Golden State.
